CAMPUS RECREATION REOPENING EVOLVING COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS We are happy to announce that, along with the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions by the State of Oregon, Campus Rec is beginning the process of lifting COVID-19 health and safety restrictions for the Rec Center. Our decisions and timeline for COVID-19 restriction changes are consistent with those of the university as a whole. As we begin this transition, some restrictions will remain in place for now, while others will change immediately. Current restrictions and changes are listed below. Review our frequently asked questions (FAQs) for more information on Campus Rec's evolving COVID-19 health and safety restrictions. What Remains the Same at the Rec Center For the time being, PSU and Campus Rec continue to require face masks to be worn indoors in all public and shared spaces. Masks are still required for all activities inside the Rec Center, with the exception of lap swimming in the pool, showering, and drinking/eating. In accordance with Oregon's outdoor mask mandate, masks are not required when actively participating in outdoor sports, trips, or clubs, but are required when attending larger outdoor events and in outdoor settings where physical distancing is not possible. The face mask requirements apply to staff and patrons regardless of vaccination status. Please help us to remain open by wearing a mask. Thank you! What Is Changing at the Rec Center? Physical distancing of 6 feet is no longer required, indoors or outdoors, on the PSU campus and at the Rec Center. Spotting and partner workouts are permitted inside the facility again. With the exception of the pool, maximum occupancy limits related to COVID-19 have been lifted throughout the Rec Center. Locker rooms and showers are open for all Rec Center users. Day-use lockers are available on every floor at no charge. Long-term locker rentals are available in the women's, mens and inclusive locker areas for $25 per term.

All PSU student members can check out towels free of charge at the Equipment Check-Out Desk next to Member Services. All other Campus Rec members and guests can check out towels for $1 per towel or $5 per month. Visit our Lockers & Equipment webpage for more information.
