WHAT IS THE MAINTENENANCE PROJECT & WHY DOES IT HAVE TO HAPPEN NOW?
Following four years of hard use, the wood floor under the cardio equipment needs to be stripped, sanded and sealed.
This process takes 2 weeks to complete, cure and correctly harden.
While we are not a ghost town during late May, it is statistically the period of lowest use in the facility. Hence we are taking advantage of this time to take care of the business of the business!
The good news? This type of work only needs to happen every four years.
WHY CAN?T I USE THE REST OF THE JUNGLE GYM DURING THIS TIME?
During the recoating process, a strong odor will be noticed throughout the fitness areas. For the safety of our members, we will be closing the space during the recoating period. This also permits our staff ample opportunity to deep clean all equipment and spaces in the Jungle Gym thus resulting in a safer, cleaner, and enjoyable environment for future member use.
If you have any questions or concerns during this time, please contact Meghan Dimsa at dimsam@missouri.edu.
