[Athleticfacilitymembers-list] New MAC heat-related problems: North Cardio/East Strength Rooms closed; p.m. classes cancelled

Hi all, One of the chillers is down that serves the MAC, resulting in very high temperatures here. As a result, we are cancelling all classes for the remainder of the day, and closing the North Cardio Room (above front desk, with treadmills, etc) and the East Strength Room (in the center of the basement; used to be the Circuit Room). We are not closing the Strength Training rooms, but they are very hot-- 82 degrees and rising, so if you do choose to use them please be VERY careful. Please feel free to use Hemenway instead regardless of your membership status there-- we will admit all MAC members there tonight, and their air conditioners are all working! (Hemenway classes tonight are as follows: Mat Pilates at 5pm, and Dance Step at 6pm.) Please stay tuned for further updates: it may take up to a week to fix the problem, and although there is supposedly a cold front heading this way, we're not sure how long it will take to make its presence felt within our thick cement walls. Thank you for your patience, and we apologize for all the drama. Jana -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jana Micomonaco Malkin Athletic Center Harvard Athletics 617/495-4838 macinfo(a)fas.harvard.edu
