Accessibility at the Rec Center
Our state-of-the-art facility was built in 2010 using universal design principles. We offer adaptive equipment for a range of body types and abilities. We are equipped with universal changing rooms which offer increased privacy in an all-gender space for members with children, disabilities, or others who prefer a single-occupancy area. All of our programs can be adapted for those with disabilities, and we also offer a number of inclusive programs to meet specific needs.
Aquatics
- Easy entry into the pool with four wide steps and a lift rated to 400 lbs.
- Stair access into spa with handrails and a lift rated to 450 lbs.
- Lane 1 is an adaptive priority swim lane, with an ADA pool lift and stairs, that is available for persons needing accommodations. The lifeguards are happy to help if assistance is needed.

Location & Description of Multipurpose Rooms (ASRC 4401/441)
Located directly left from main stairwell or directly right from elevator. From the weight room staircase, take two rights, just past the treadmills.
As you enter, you are at the west wall in the southwest corner of the room. Exit at door 440 on the west wall, near the northwest corner of the room. The instructor occupies the north center of the room, and participants occupy three staggered rows in front of the instructor, with the back row against the south wall and one-way paths dividing the rows. We have designated a priority workout box intended for patrons who are visually or positionally impaired. To find the priority box, turn left at the entry door and follow the west wall past the closet doors and Bosu racks until you feel a tactile line underfoot. Follow the tactile line away from the wall to the priority box. The perimeter of the box is also marked by tactile lines. To exit, follow the line back to the west wall. Keep the wall to your left and the exit door is just in front of you. You may also call out to the instructor for assistance.
