Following the repair and pressurization of the university’s high temperature hot water system over the holiday break, a new leak emerged that has left several campus buildings, including the Rec Center, with enough heat to keep pipes from freezing. As a result, the Rec Center will need to remain closed through Thursday, December 11 as repairs to restore full heat to the Rec Center continue. At this time, all programs, classes, and facility rentals are canceled. Some virtual classes as well as programs occurring in other buildings will be available during the closure. To see these offerings, please visit myrecwell.oakland.edu.
