* *MAC Renovation Update*:
https://admin.xosn.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=9000&ATCLID=1306124
As many of you remember, we completed Phase One of the MAC improvement
plan over the summer of 2004. This phase addressed the programmatic
needs by doubling the cardio and strength areas as well as improving the
existing fitness rooms with air conditioning.
We are excited to announce that Phase Two of the plan has been completed
and we are preparing to open the building on Tuesday, November 13th. The
construction schedule was ambitious, and we are pleased that the work is
almost complete and we are ready to begin operating after such a short
time. This phase of the renovation focused primarily on upgrading the
systems in the building, which will allow us to preserve the building
for the next 50 years or more. Our hope is to open the MAC pool
immediately following the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, which will allow
us to finish work in the pool in areas that were not accessible due the
sequencing of construction on and above the pool ceiling.
The MAC will open Tuesday November 13th from 12-6PM then open with
normal hours and a group exercise schedule on Wednesday November 14th.
We are looking forward to seeing all of you next week!
