Summer A Campus Rec Operations - Leach Center Closed, FMC Open with Extended Hours
This message has been approved by Chris Morris, director of Campus Recreation, for distribution to students, faculty and staff.
As the Leach Center renovation project enters a more extensive phase, Campus Recreation is planning to close the Leach Center for the Summer A session (from Spring Graduation until the start of Summer B session - May 2 to June 19). During these seven weeks, the Heating, Ventilation, & Air Conditioning (HVAC) project will focus on the locker room and restrooms on the main level with additional work simultaneously in workout spaces. The closure is expected to accelerate the project and reduce disruptions during our busier months of the year.
Campus Recreation will operate its smaller Fitness & Movement Clinic (FMC) in the Coburn Health & Wellness Center with extended hours throughout Summer A. Please note that guest pass hours have been extended to all operational hours during the summer semester. On-campus outdoor sports spaces will continue to be available throughout the term. The Lakefront Park will operate with its normal summer schedule of hours.
Summer A Term Hours (May 11 – June 19)
FITNESS & MOVEMENT CLINIC
- Mondays through Fridays | 6 a.m. - 8 p.m.
- Saturdays and Sundays | 10 a.m. - 6 p.m.
MAIN CAMPUS FIELDS & WESTSIDE COURTS
- Daily | Daylight Hours
FSU LAKEFRONT PARK & RETREAT CENTER
- Saturdays and Sundays in May | 11 a.m. – 6 p.m.
- Daily starting June 1 | 11 a.m. – 6 p.m.
Current paying members (faculty/staff, alumni) will be accommodated at the FMC or able to pause or adjust their membership during this time. Leach Center locker holders can also temporarily move their lockers to the FMC. Please email Matthew Kulikowski at mkulikowski2@fsu.edu to inquire about this complementary transfer.
Additionally, current Campus Recreation membership holders (faculty, staff, alumni, and affiliates only) can utilize Morcom Aquatics Center for no additional cost. Please reach out to Kari DiDonato at kari.didonato@fsu.edu to get set up. Morcom Aquatics Center is open during the summer on Mondays through Fridays from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m., and again from 5-7 p.m; as well as Saturdays from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.
Concurrently with the HVAC project, Campus Recreation will utilize the Summer A Leach shutdown to repair and resurface our hardwood basketball floors. This project will require the floor to be sanded down to bare wood, repainted and refinished. This project is estimated to take 45 to 60 days. Outdoor basketball will be available at the Westside Courts during this time.
We are hopeful that by accelerating these projects during Summer A while the facility is closed, we will be able to better limit interruptions and inconveniences to patrons later this year.
Please visit campusrec.fsu.edu/renovation for further details and updates on this project. Should you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to Kari DiDonato at kari.didonato@fsu.edu.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we continue to modernize the Dr. Bobby E. Leach Student Recreation Center.
