I did answer, but sometimes the little post-its go off and hide! You can always see my answers on my blog: https://library.bc.edu/answerwall/. The answer was: 12/11/19 from Campus Rec: “Campus Recreation allows community members to purchase memberships during the Summer, but not during the academic year. We keep the facility foot traffic during the semester to the students and faculty/staff that are directly affiliated with BC.”

Why did BC stop allowing Allston Brighton residents access to your gym?

I'm a Brighten resident taking a class elsewhere, & I use the library as a quiet place to study. Why did BC stop allowing Allston Brighton residents access to your gym?

I don’t know the answer to that question, but I will have my assistants attempt to find out.

Why did they turn the fans off in the plex? And they don’t open the door for air anymore. It’s 100 degrees & SUFFOCATING even in the winter.

Terry Gilman (Plex Facilities Mgr.) tells me they work hard to maintain the “ideal” temperature of about 72F; it’s hard in an aging building. They can’t open doors if it’s below 65F, because the heating system will crank up. Fans are put in place in warmer months. The spin room and multipurpose room have ac; the main gym does not, but they will open the big doors when it gets to 65-70F.
