Blomquist to Close for Renovations
After much preparation, we're excited to announce our renovation plans for Blomquist Recreation Center. Minor work begins today, May 1. Blomquist will remain open, operating on regular hours. However, due to the scope of the work being conducted and for safety purposes, Blomquist will close for the remainder of the academic year beginning Monday, May 15. We plan to reopen in Fall 2023.
