FALL 2019
Health Spa & Locker Room Renovation: Extensive renovations are set to begin this fall. Included will be the renovation of the Men’s and Women’s Heath Spas and the addition of a new Pilates Reformer Studio, Multi-Purpose / Party Room, and Physical Therapy Studio. Renovation of the health spas will correspond with the renovation of the same gender’s lower level locker room. This work will require temporary relocation as outlined below. Decisions on relocation space were determined by the logistical ability to rehouse the given volume of members in available space. Because the Men’s Health Spa has the highest level of members, they require the largest amount of space.
