June progress

The renovation project continues to be on schedule and progress is more an more visible each day.

On Tuesday, June 18 the floor for a second story restroom took shape above the studio which formerly housed the spin room.  Workers created a suspended floor with iron supports and created the room when the concrete floor was poured.

The interior of the Center is beginning to see more detailed finishes.  The lights have been added to the front door entryway.

The floors in the Activity Studios are in the process of being finished.

The DRC Kids Zone will have an outdoor playground.  Before the playground structure is installed on the east patio, permanent fencing will be put in place.

If the project continues to stay on schedule, the week of July 22 will be the date when the majority of the remodeled DRC areas will be opened to the public.  This includes the expanded fitness center, a new entryway, and three new activity studios (located on the main level).

The indoor pool will be open through the month of July, but beginning July 29th, the indoor pool will close for renovations.  The pool is expected to reopen in early October.  For those who enjoy aquatic classes, the outdoor pool at Rock River Rapids will remain open for a 5 week mini session from July 29-August 31.  A complete list of those classes can be viewed at www.DerbyRec.com

During this same timeframe the locker rooms will also be closed for remodeling.  The locker rooms are also expected to reopen in early October.

And finally, mark your calendars for the DRC's Be Our Guest Open House on Saturday, November 16th.   There will be tours, giveaways and activities for the family.  More details will be released as time draws nearer.
