Questions, Comments, Observations (Committee)
Paul All, SGA representative, shared some feedback:
- He has heard some complaints about the big pool not being available at all times. Greg explained
that the Athletics department controlled the pool schedule and that Rec staff’s goal was to have pool
time available as often as possible for members.
- Other comments were related to the quality of the shower heads and soap dispensers. This should
be mitigated when the showers are improved this summer.
- A request was made for an additional vanity in the women’s locker room. Greg will look into this.
- The question about having racketball rackets for rent was raised. Greg indicated that those items
took such heavy abuse that rentals were not feasible – they are sold in the pro shop, however.
- Paul indicated that he would prefer to have in-person signups for intermurals instead of just online.
