The Cary St. Gym Aquatic Center will reopen on October 5 following the completion of several major facility improvements, including:

• Replacement of the existing HVAC system
• Draining and replastering of the pools
• Resurfacing of the pool deck
• Installation of a new lighting system
• Removal of the slide
• Replacement of the starting platforms

We look forward to welcoming our members back to the newly renovated Aquatic Center!

• In December 2026, the MCV Campus Recreation Center located in the Jonah L. Larrick Student Center, will temporarily close. Larrick is slated for demolition in spring 2027 as it will be the site of the new School of Dentistry building. 
• The MCV Campus Recreation Center will move to 610 N. 10th St., the current site of the MCV Campus Bookstore, and is planned to reopen in summer 2027. During the spring semester while the new space is being renovated, no recreation services will be available on the MCV Campus. However, all students and members will continue to have access to the Cary Street Gym. 
• The new facility will have approximately 3,000 square feet of fitness space and will feature cardio and weight equipment, a functional fitness space, and cabana-style restrooms and showers. 
• As we near the closure, RecWell will communicate additional information about the exact date of closure and what options members have regarding their membership during the closure.
