General

PAC Floor to receive first upgrade in over 50 years

Closures as a Result

The Department of Athletics and Recreation would like to bring to your attention upcoming closures within the PAC over the spring term.

We are very excited to announce that we are upgrading our PAC Gym Floor (both the small and large gyms) for the first time in the history of the building. The original floor, built over 50 years ago, has undergone multiple facelifts but has approached end of life and needs to be replaced. A new sports floor by Robbins Sports Surfaces will be installed, giving our students and student-athletes the best one-of-a-kind floor system in the business, used in many post-secondary and professional athletic facilities. 

Robbins' innovative design focuses on optimizing biomechanical interaction between athlete and floor by minimizing vibration and maximizing uniformity, while maintaining proper energy return.
 

"
After a long selection process we are excited to work with Gym-Con Sports Flooring to install the Robbins product," said associate director of business operations, Ari Grossman. "The duration of the shutdown is a result of the demand for the PAC facility as we will work around exams and convocation. We appreciate everyone's support through the process."

The PAC floor update project will begin on March 23 and extend until July 5. As a result of the shared space, both gyms, Warrior Zone and the Activity Area will be closed during construction. There will also be Field House open fitness time, that will be similar to open recreation where you can use functional equipment such as bands, medicine balls, sleds, skipping ropes to conduct personal workouts. 

As a result of many closures in the PAC, we will be extending the CIF and Field House hours by keeping regular hours through exams and the summer term to help spread out traffic throughout the day. There will be additional programming available in the Field House as well. The extended hours in the CIF will be from April 5 to July 26 with the facility opening a 7:00am and closing at 11:30pm. 

Please note the PAC floor update project will not affect scheduled exams and spring convocation. 

We thank you for your ongoing cooperation as we continue to make necessary improvements to our facilities to enhance the Warrior experience.
