This summer a plan was conceived to change the purpose of one of the rooms in the basement of Brown Hall that was formerly used as a fitness area. The fitness area included an old "Universal" weight machine that had been in Brown Hall for many decades. Given that Brown Hall is not far from the Carpenter Sports Center, our folks at Evironmental Health & Safety determined that it was not safe to have students using the equipment in this room unsupervised with the potential for a serious injury to occur and with possibly no one around to adminster first aid or call for help. Therefore our plan was to dismantle the old equipment and have it's metal content recycled by nearby Newark Recycling. Now the room is being prepared with a rubber floor that will allow for low impact aerobics, pilates, and or yoga. Additional plans for the room include adding a television and a sound system down the road. The photo shows the room with most of the equipment hauled out in advance of the new flooring.
