PAC May 2026

May is here and the weather is warm, so let’s “spring” into action with the PAC. Please see the following updates and highlights for the month of May:

Pool Project- The pool project is nearing completion. Tilers are expected to arrive this week, and once their work is finished, we will provide specific details regarding the PAC reopening. I truly appreciate your patience as we work to get this mission-essential project completed

Life Fitness Refresh- The equipment order has been placed, and a full refresh of the Cardio room is scheduled for mid-to-late June 2026. Current machines will be replaced with updated, state-of-the-art models, including ellipticals, treadmills, and stair climbers. Additionally, the Mark Center and Taylor Building will each receive a new stair climbing machine. In the interim, the PAC is coordinating with Life Fitness to ensure current machines remain operational while we await the new delivery.

Bikes- The PAC bicycles are tuned and ready for use. I invite you to sign one out for a ride around the DC area. We provide both men’s and women’s bicycles, as well as safety vests and helmets for your protection and safety.

PAC Facility Etiquette- As we approach the summer months and facility usage increases, I would like to share a friendly reminder regarding common courtesies that should be extended to your fellow patrons to ensure a positive environment for everyone.

Sauna and Steam rooms- The sauna and steam rooms are designed for relaxation and recovery. To allow others to enjoy the areas please refrain from the following as they are unsanitary as well as a potential safety hazard:

• Do not dry your clothes on the sauna rocks it is a fire hazard.
• Do not bring any cellular or any kind of electronic devices into the areas due the high humidity and heat
• Pleas refrain from working out/wearing workout shoes in the rooms.
• Do not shave in the rooms.
• If you use a towel in the room do not wring them out in the rooms. Place the towel into the bin adjacent to the entrance and get a new one if needed.

Locker Rooms-

Daily-use lockers are intended for single-day use only. If a daily locker is used overnight, a notice will be posted before the lock is cut and items are removed. Additionally, please keep benches clear for member seating by utilizing the daily lockers for bags and other personal belongings.

Weight Area-

While many members utilize various pieces of equipment, please refrain from placing phones, CACs, or clothing on machines to imply they are reserved. If equipment is vacant for any amount of time, it is available for use by another member. Furthermore, if you need to check your mobile device, please step away from the machine to allow others to cycle through their sets.

It is an excellent time to be at the PAC, and we ask that you remain considerate of your fellow members to ensure a positive experience for everyone. We look forward to seeing you soon!

1. 1. PAC Operating Hours

   Effective Saturday 28 March 2026, the PAC will extend the hours for Saturday and Sunday. The new weekend operating hours for the PAC will be:

   ·       Saturdays 0000-1700

   ·       Sundays 0800-1700

    

   This pilot will run until 20 June 2026. All members entering the PAC from 1300-1700 must sign in at the front desk and provide name, status, and organization for data collection.  At the conclusion of the pilot, a determination will be made on the feasibility of operating the facility with extended hours on weekends.

    

   2. PAC Pool

   Work is still underway to prepare the pool for opening, and tile construction remains ongoing. Once all renovations are complete, we will share an official reopening date with members. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we continue this important work.
