Replacement of the floor at the north end of Gym 1 to take place during winter break. At that time, the East Wing entrance will be moved to the east side of the building. Gym 2 will then be used for basketball while the floor is being replaced.
Climbing wall is 85% complete.
The two entrance stair towers (on either side of the entrance) now have brick and limestone coverings.

When asked their impressions of the newly renovated space at CRCE, here are quotes from some of our patrons:

"I live in Allen Hall and I am SO lucky!"
"My life just got a whole lot better!"
"It's like a very fancy hotel."
"Good work!"
"Definitely worth the wait!"
"My breath is taken away!"
"I am so pleased."
"This is spectacular!"
"I love the openness."
"This place is so beautiful it is like a dream!"
