The Campus Rec Check
 Rec Center Member News & Updates                                                 December 2014
MEMBERSHIP
As a quick reminder, the Recreation Center will switch to winter break hours beginning on Monday, December 15.
Parking Update
Over the next few months there will be some changes affecting the East Garage. We apologize for the late notice, however, this project is being managed by the University Architect’s Office. Phase 1 of the construction project began on Monday, December 15th. The timeline for this project was moved up to allow the maximum amount of work to be completed while the weather is tolerable. Construction personnel will be working on the access gates and around the entry/exit lanes. Please be sure to enter and exit the garage with extra caution during this time. We will continue to provide you with construction updates as they become available.
If you are interested in developing your worksite wellness program and providing your employees with an outstanding health benefit, the Recreation Center at Cleveland State University has what you need!
 
By partnering with CSU, your employees will be able to join at a discounted membership rate with no initiation fee (a $50 value). PLUS, they will receive a FREE two-week trial and other perks of this program. Please contact Katie Robinson at 216-802-3208 or via email for more information and to sign up today!
