Athletics Reopening Information
Recreation and Wellness
The University of Mount Union fitness center has been modified to allow members of our campus community to exercise safely while maintaining appropriate social distancing. Sanitation and cleaning supplies are readily available throughout the facility, and machines are regularly wiped down.
The multipurpose room (ground floor MAAC) and Peterson Fieldhouse are also available to members of the campus community during hours of operation. Individuals utilizing these spaces are asked to observe social distancing.
The McPherson Academic and Athletic Complex, like other buildings on campus, has decreased its overall maximum capacity at this time.
