Memorial Weekend Facility Hours
Due to the Memorial Day holiday, hours for Rec Sports facilities will change. In addition, all group fitness classes beginning at 1 p.m. on Friday, May 27, through Monday, May 30, will be cancelled. Visit http://go.osu.edu/memorialhours to view the hours.
Two Pools to Close for Maintenance at McCorkle Aquatic Pavilion
Repairs have been scheduled in the McCorkle Aquatic Pavilion from July 4 to October 16, 2011. The competition pool and diving well will be closed during this time while ceiling surface issues are addressed. The RPAC recreation natatorium (class pool, leisure pool, lap pool and whirlpool spa) will remain open for recreational swimming, scheduled classes, and events.
These repairs will take place as quickly as possible. Exact completion dates are estimated as the length of each project may vary. We appreciate our patrons' flexibility during this time. The work has been scheduled during our least busy time of year in the facility.
A detailed listing of Rec Sports swimming options will be posted and updated throughout the summer on the recreational sports web site.
Questions regarding summer maintenance or the pool schedule can be referred to Kurt Carmen, director of aquatics, at (614) 688-3587 or carmen.7@osu.edu.
