On Thursday, July 30th, Gov. Tony Evers issued a statewide mandate requiring all Wisconsin residents to wear face masks while indoors through the end of September.  See the full story here.

Campus Recreation Professional Staff have been working all summer on new policies, facility updates, and specialized programming to meet the new mandates and recommendations from health experts.  This new mandate will be taken into consideration as the staff prepare for the beginning of the academic year.  At this time, there is no definite timeline for opening the Fitness Center.

On May 13, the Wisconsin Supreme Court overturned the state’s Safer at Home order. Although this order is no longer in place, COVID-19 remains a serious public health concern. We appreciate your patience during this period of closure and want to ensure you that we are working towards a safe and effective way to reopen the Campus Recreation programs and recreational opportunities at the Falcon Center.

Campus Recreation is currently working on a plan to open the Fitness Center in a phased approach. Once a plan to open the facility is approved, the Campus Recreation staff will share it via its website, email and various social media outlets. A reopening of the Falcon Center will follow safety guidelines from the CDC, Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation and Pierce County Public Health and incorporate best practices in the health and fitness industry to reduce the spread of disease.

We understand the positive benefits that exercise contributes to your health and wellbeing and look forward to a safe return for everyone. Thank you for your patience and flexibility during this challenging time. Be well.
