Facilities Management continues to work with the contractor to replace the roof above the gymnasium at the Campus Recreation Center (CRC). Due to unforeseen issues, additional work is needed and has extended the timeline for the project to mid-November.
The multipurpose courts and indoor track will remain closed while the work is taking place.
Alternative recreation options remain available for members of the UMass Lowell community. Outdoor basketball courts are open on South Campus near the Athletic Fields and Allen House.
Across from the CRC, two additional outdoor basketball nets have been set up on the tennis courts for use when not reserved for Intramural or Club Sports.
The fitness centers, studios and other areas of the Campus Recreation Center remain open and available for use.
The university recognizes the importance of these facilities to our community. Unforeseen issues such as this one, supply chain delays, and weather interruptions have all contributed to the extended project timeline. The construction team continues to work diligently, including overtime, to complete the project as efficiently and safely as possible.
We will continue to share updates as new information becomes available. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work toward delivering safe, improved recreation facilities for years to come.
