Parking lot progression

As expected, the parking lot now has fencing through the midsection as construction crews proceed with the upgrades custom designed for both functionality and beauty.

As the parking lot renovations have progressed many have asked what the final project will look like.  Below is the architectural drawing of the project along with a preliminary artistic rendering (modifications have been made since the rendering was developed, so the final project will be a bit different).

 

As you can see, the final product will be beautiful while adding pedestrian safety to the parking lot.

 

Expect the fencing to be removed from the majority of the parking lot within the next week or so.  And keep your eyes peeled for the improvements taking place in front of the building.  Visible changes will continue for the next month.

Fitness Center moved - Gym gets new lighting

The fitness center has moved!

Sunday night after the center was closed, DRC staff and associates from Mid States Fitness moved every piece of cardio equipment, fixed weights and the free weights, to the newly completed section of the remodeled fitness center.

 

Vacated area of the fitness center, now being remodeled to be
the future expanded fitness area.

Once completed, the expanded fitness center will be twice the size of the current temporary space.  With that in mind, the amount of equipment located in this reduced space makes for cramped quarters.

 

 

  

To alleviate some of the space issues, several pieces of cardio equipment have been temporarily relocated in alcoves around the track.

 

 

 

We appreciate you understanding as the remodel has definitley taken a toll on the current experience in the fitness center. We recognize that the current set up is not ideal and we also look forward to the near future (estimated for July) when the fitness center will be twice the current size and space will be ample!

In addition to the displacement of fitness equipment, the gyms will also have some restricted access over the next couple of weeks.  The lighting in the gym is being upgraded to a more vibrant light source which will be dramatic once completed.  Until then, individual lights will be replaced and during those times, sections of the gym will be closed to accomodate the lifts and equipment required to reach the ceiling.

If you prefer a more spacious fitness center, use the Oaklawn Activity Center which is located on Clifton just south of 47th Street and K15.  The OAC has all new equipment, free weights and plenty of space for your workout.
