Now, with the newly initiated Stanford After Midnight program, Tresidder Fitness is open until 2 a.m. every night of the week. According to Dean of Students Marc Wais, no formal assessment of facility usage during the extended hours has yet been undertaken, although casual observation shows people using the facilities. Wais noted that winter quarter, with its rain, darkness and typically heavy course loads, is probably not the best time of year for usage of extended hours. I'm a night person anyway.
Students seem especially excited about Late Night's extended hours.
Facilities and services such as the meeting rooms in Tresidder, the Computer Lair, the Coffee House, deGuerre Courts, Ford Center and Late Night food service have been open until 2 a.m. since Jan. 6, and starting sometime in winter quarter, the first two floors of Meyer Library will be open 24 hours. Not all facilities have been utilized until 2 a.m., however. The deGuerre racquetball and squash courts, for example, tend to be vacated by midnight. After Midnight is only a winter quarter pilot program. Usage and response will be assessed in March, and some hours may be amended depending on facility usage.
