What to Expect as BGSU Reopens to the Rec

As BGSU repopulates campus, the health and safety of our communities are the top priorities. There will be inherent risk in all activities, however, a calculated and thorough return to campus plan allows us to mitigate much of this risk. With direction from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the State of Ohio and Ohio Department of Health, and the Wood County Health Department, Recreation and Wellness is working in conjunction with University officials to implement a multi-phased reopening plan so we can all stay well together.

Facility capacity limits and equipment spacing that support physical distancing, along with cleaning protocols, good health practices, and additional policies are in force to provide the safest environment possible. Face coverings are required throughout the facility including while exercising. Specific information about policies and future phases of our reopening plan are anticipated as the fall semester progresses. All schedules and information on this site is subject to change.  

General Information
  • Enter the SRC facility only through the Main Entrance off of Ridge Road. 
  • Accessible entry is available at the Secondary Entrance off of Mercer Road. Patrons requiring use of this entrance need to call 419.372.2705 upon arrival for staff assistance.
  • Validate membership with an SRC staff member – finger vein scanners are not in use.
  • Sign a COVID specific waiver on your first day of use.
Good Health Practices
  • If you're not feeling well or are experiencing symptoms related to COVID-19 such as cough, shortness of breath, or fever please stay home. Refer to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for a complete list of symptoms: 
  • Face coverings are required throughout the facility including while exercising. Face coverings may only be removed when entering the water from assigned lane during lap swimming and must be replaced immediately upon exiting the water.
  • Drinking fountains are for water bottle refills only.
Cleaning Protocols and Physical Distancing
  • Arrive dressed and ready to exercise and carry a minimum number of items. Locker rooms and shower facilities are not available.
  • Patrons are asked to disinfect equipment prior to and after use.
  • Recreation and Wellness staffs and BGSU Campus Operations are conducting frequent sanitization and regular deep cleaning.
