New Faculty and Staff Exercise Room

The exercise room consists of one treadmill, one exercise bike and a selection of small free weights.

It is located in room N318 (the former Wellness Room).

There is a QR code located at the entrance to the exercise room that can be scanned to read and sign a standard waiver and to gain access to the room.  Alternatively, you can click here to complete the waiver and to request access. Please keep the door to the room closed at all times to help ensure that only those who have completed the waiver gain access to the room.  

The Wellness Room has been combined with the Lactation Room (now called the Lactation / Wellness Room) on the first floor in room N122.
