The Leach Center renovation project is entering a more extensive phase. The Heating, Ventilation, & Air Conditioning (HVAC) project will focus on the locker room and restrooms on the main level with additional work simultaneously in workout spaces. The closure is expected to accelerate the project and reduce disruptions during our busier months of the year.
In addition to the HVAC project, Campus Recreation would also utilize the Summer A Leach shutdown to repair and resurface our hardwood basketball floors. This project will require the floor to be sanded down to bare wood, repainted and refinished. This project is estimated to take 45-50 days.
Summer A is by far the lowest utilized time for Leach Center. In the past few years, the facility has averaged approximately 30% of attendance that is normally seen on comparable fall or spring semester days. This is why this time of year was chosen for these projects.
