The Intramural Building features facilities for activities such as volleyball, racquetball, basketball, jogging and weight training. Tom Lovins, director of recreational sports, said about 3,000 to 3,500 people use the facilities at the Intramural Building each day. The weight room is very popular among students. There are usually 850 to 1,000 visitors to the weight area on any given day, Lovins said. The weight room only holds 60 people at a time, however, causing long lines at times.
Some students expect the line and wait patiently, while others have found ways to avoid it.
I come early in the morning because it's less crowded. The pass also includes access to the Fitness Loft and McCoy Natatorium, making the buiding a cheaper alternative for students looking for means to exercise. Sahl also said the building is extremely convenient for those who, like Sahl, live in nearby East Halls, even though he still plans on coming to the Intramural Building when he moves off campus next fall. Though the weight room is a popular area, it is not the only reason people go to the Intramural Building. Seitz and Garber both said they enjoy the track and find it very convenient for their East Halls location.
