This is a large gym cut in half. On one side, people play basketball and on the other, they use the meager fitness equipment. Students as well as staff are better going to the north side of campus if they want a better experience. Henry Crown is much better.

No frills, gets the job done but needs an update - also a little musty and hot at times

I got my vaccine here. It's very spacious, and dozens of stations were set up with plenty of room in between. We moved quickly from one to the next.

It's kind of small: has the basic machines (squat racks, bench, lat, etc.) and a lot of cardio machines and two basketball courts. But it's at a convenient location, so I can't complain. There is a locker room and showers.

Tough to get an open court for basketball sometimes (there are two), and exercise equipment is OK. There's also no air conditioning so if it's over 80 outside this place becomes an oven.
