caryn collopy
At San Jose State-We closed rec center on 3/16 mid day. The directive came from the University.
Jerrell Kelly
Here at WKU, our University leadership made the decision. We started with closed to programming and still open for use, but then transitioned to closed completely and no student employees able to be paid
Greg Durham
Creighton we were going to move our free weights to our basketball courts
Gabby McCollum
Virginia Tech-- we closed when the governor said recreation centers and fitness centers to close

Chris Muller
We put out order signs on every other cardio machine
Cara Green
Yes, extra cleaning, social distancing
Marissa Canter
Longwood University: Once the Governor recommended recreation facilities within the state either close or limit to 10 people our Administration in collaboration with our department decided we would close.
Anna Champion
We were asked to close.
Priscilla Gaona
We place more hand sanitizer out for about a week. For one day before we closed we put "out of order signs" on every other cardio machine for social distancing at Georgia Tech
Colin Allison
SCU- we ended up stopping our equipment check out services and posted signage reminding patrons to keep distances between their workout spaces. Cancelled out fitness classes when the university went online.
Bob Weeks
University of Cincinnati: school made the decision to close us, likely in conjunction with governor's directive
caryn collopy
At San Jose State we instituted social distancing on cardio equipment and on pool deck with lounge chairs.
Ashlee Hyman
TAMUC- every other piece of equipment, capping the amount of people in our weight room area, utilizing our MP room for stretches or bike space. We closed before we could implement.
Kathryn Dunn
we moved our ID Scanners so patrons could scan their own IDs. Staff still had to press the button to open the gate to let patrons in so they were still interacting
Jess Gentry
At U of I, the announcement to online classes came 3/11…we pushed to be able to close completely and were able to do so starting 3/16
Jerrell Kelly
For us, the shutdown hit right before the end of spring break and then we went into maintenance mode and used distancing during it but then shut down even with students this past week
Blair Schuyler
At KU, we did an abbreviated shutdown cleaning week once the university closed
Blair Schuyler
and within that week, we became like everyone else
Colin Allison
SCU- we stayed about about a week after our university went online. Only closed down when the shelter in place order from the county was announced. We tracked our attendance numbers for that week, and we were down to about 200-300 entries about, our usual was 1000-1200 a day.
Greg Durham
Creighton - We also deactivated our handscanners, we were in the process of implementing RFID scanners so there were no exchanging of cards
Chris Muller
Was anyone using masks for student employees? Where they provided by the department or provided by the individuals?
Cristina Rodriguez
UTRGV..... We went down from 100+ employees to roughly 20 with minimal hours.
Jess Gentry
Our chancellor made the decision we will continue to pay student staff through May 15 based on their weekly average since Jan 1
Sarah Shea
No masks were used at A&M Commerce
Jillian Dolciato
Xavier University is committing to pay all students through May 3rd for their normally scheduled hours, regardless if they are working remotely or not. However, we are asking all of them to help with social media campaigns
Greg Durham
@Stephanie - We have been given pretty clear directive that we cannot employ students duringn this time. We are given them all a 1-time stipend this pay period, and that's it.
Jess Gentry
No masks at U of I either…following CDC guidelines on effectiveness and need in other areas so we didn’t want to take any needed supplies
Kathy Obuszewski
CWRU- we had a plan to run on limited hours throughout our facilities. But things were escalating- so on that last Friday, it was a lot of "maybe see you on Monday". Late Sunday night they decided that the gym was goign to close at noon. Then that day, the gov decided to shut down the gyms to go effect that night.
Nicolas Prante
Washington State University is paying their student employees for remote work. They are taking online training offered by the university and putting on remote programming
caryn collopy
At San Jose State we are under the Student Union so our board voted to pay students till May 31. Their hours paid are based on average hours since February 1st.
Samantha Lowry
At Kennesaw State we are approved to allow remote work for students. Students that cannot do remote work or refuse to do remote work will not be paid. However this is a limited opportunity as we do not have the same workload remotely as when the buildings/programs are operating. The only caveat is FWS will be paid as usual though the end of the semester.
Kathy Obuszewski
CWRU- will pay the students regardless of the ability to work
Kathryn Dunn
At Loyola Chicago, we are not allowed to pay our students to work from afar unless it's necessary work.
Jenna Dillon
VCU has been using our custodial staff
Kathryn Dunn
Our university custodial is unionized. They are cleaning university wide during this closure
Cristina Rodriguez
UTRGV has been using custodial staff and a few professional staff.... minimal of 9 people in the building at once.
Laura Munroe
UT-San Antonio created learning opportunities based on the 8 dimensions of wellbeing. We are also using LinkedIn Learning and other online opportunities.
Mark Ritter
USC Upstate is using Facilities Management Custodial Staff
John Wondra
Kansas State using custodial staff
Abi Schaefer
Using all three (contract, students and housekeeping)
Stefani Plummer
CBU-we will continue to use our custodial team but we will use our sanisport more often (currently it is quarterly). We share it with Athletics and is worth it's weight in gold!
Nicolas Prante
Washington state university was able to utilize student staff during spring break for a deep clean. We also have full-time custodial and mainten staff that have been continuing to clean
Roger Watson
Dixie State we are using custodial for building areas.
Melissa Bates
We have a fulltime custodian and our students that will be responsible for our deep clean
Theresa Fuller
Troy University using custodial staff and new rec center did extensive internal cleaning utilizing student workers.
Kathy Obuszewski
CWRU- IT gets complicated for cleaning. So for the weight room and cardio room, the managers will do the cleaning. Athletics will have the students clean other areas as more of spot cleaning. Then custodial go through the building
Laura Munroe
UT San Antonio - Clorox®
Aracelis Servedio
Ordered Geneon system to disinfect all equipment. Have wiped down everything with a disinfectant. Whenever that gets in. In how custodians are scrubbing Mondo floors.
Brad Wilson
LSU we’ll have custodial staff along with our current practice of using the 360
Jimmy Heiner
For those that have Clorox 360, are they allowed to use it when the facility is occupied?
Gabby McCollum
@jimmy-- No, you have to have a cleared room
Jennifer Cobarrubias
Stanford had to close on Friday March 13th I got a call at 5PM had to be closed by 6PM…Shelter in place started that Monday…We were only allowed to pay our staff until March 15th …trying to have only full time staff working except a few personal trainers that have special certifications and a few other minimal contingent staff…We have an outside company TQM that comes in and cleans for us for inside…Aquatics does its own cleaning…
John Wondra
our department is responsible for PPE, we just ordered and restocked prior to our closure
Blair Schuyler
An alternative to Clorox 360 (https://vitaloxide.com/)
Kathy Obuszewski
Has anyone been asked to give up the PPE to donate towards healthcare?
Blair Schuyler
its an electrostatic cleaner
Jillian Dolciato
Xavier University has now donated all unopened boxes of gloves to the hospitals, so that is a concern of mine when we come back
Jennifer Cobarrubias
We had a large inventory of gloves and masks we keep black gloves for first aid and blue gloves for cleaning so we donate all of the rest of our gloves to the Stanford Hospital we had masks due to all the California fires so those were donated too.
Autumn Cleverley
fingers crossed we have staff
Cristina Rodriguez
Same at UTRGV....
caryn collopy
SJSU lifeguards wanted to donate gloves, etc. and we agreed not to because of supply and demand and we wanted to make sure we had a supply when we open again.
Anna Champion
We will be online as well at AUM
Brittney Jacobs
Right now at OSU we are polling our student staff to see who will be available and willing to work summer and the fall
Priscilla Gaona
Georgia tech will open when university system allows. We are still hiring staff for summer in hopes that we will have staff IF we do open. Right now we do not know what will happen with summer
Kathryn Dunn
Our admin understands we might need time to hire and get set up before we reopen. We have agreed to work as quickly as possible to get the Rec Center up and running but they are giving us ownership of our reopen date.
Aracelis Servedio
Classes are online through summer. No idea when we will open up. Suspect we will open at some point for international students still here and for faculty and staff.
Tyler Artley
Many of our (UT Tyler) students want to come back to work but we have been put on hiring freeze so we will be short staffed to at least at the beginning
Bob Weeks
UC aquatics staff polled students to see who would be back under different circumstances, like rec open w/classes, rec open no classes, etc.
Jennifer Cobarrubias
Stanford saved gloves and masks for when we do reopen but donated all the extra but that is only because we have two facilities of back stock for the pool alone but we also have all the rec services stock.
Jerrell Kelly
Here at WKU, we'll reopen when University Leadership allows us to. We've been contacting all our student employees to find out what their plans for summer and fall might be
Ashlee Hyman
We did the same thing at Commerce, laying it out month to month to see what are numbers would look like from an operations stand point
Morgan
Mount Royal university in Calgary- we are waiting on Province of Alberta to re open. this would be the last week of classes so we already had availability prior to closing we we are creating the schedule and will start it when we can open. programs may be later then the facility
Blair Schuyler
ARC just extended all certs for 90 days...not sure about AHA yet
Jillian Dolciato

Cara Green
The instructor has to submit it after they register for the online course
Jennifer Cobarrubias
Stanford has student and non students working for us… we will be limiting hours or only opening up one facility at a time if need be if we don’t have enough staff…A lot of our summer staff that comes home from college has been reaching out wanting to work though so we are lucky as that is helping us stock back up on lifeguards since others were forced to go home.

I think WMA for the Outdoor Folks are about to do the same thing for Wilderness First Responder.
Blair Schuyler
We use Connect2 at KU
Jennifer Cobarrubias
We use Connect2concepts at Stanford University
Jennifer Cobarrubias
Stanford Summer Camps are a go as of right now.
Ashley Dent
We use SubItUp as well. Technically it's called HelloCert
Colin Allison
Just google sheets to track expiration dates, and its one of our student coordinators monthly tasks to check and follow up with students due to expire that month.
Jerrell Kelly
Right now WKU is planning Summer Camp as if its a go but we'll see
Kathy Obuszewski
CWRU- I have a sheet on the u-drive when thing the certs actually expires. But I put all the cert expiration dates in my planner and the month and 2 months out when people are expiring
Veronica Chevalier
Summarized resources from Red Cross about COVID-19 social distancing recommendations, provisional courses, and submitting extensions https://www.redcrosslearningcenter.org/s/american-red-cross-covid-19-guidance
Cristina Rodriguez
UTRGV Excel sheet for documentation as well as taped every location that has been cleaned. so anytime its touched tape is removed then after cleaned will be taped again
Erin Wells
https://www.epa.gov/pesticide-registration/list-n-disinfectants-use-against-sars-cov-2
Kathy Obuszewski
CWRU- OnetoONe had a cleaning checklist that's done daily, weekly and monthly that sftaff sign as they do the various cleaning tasks. This is something we have been doing for years.
Erin Wells

Mark Ritter
Our Custodial staff uses placards that hang from doorknobs to indicate a cleaned space. If the space is then used, the user is supposed to put the placard on the back side of the door. This indicates the area is to be re-cleaned.
Blair Schuyler
damn, Mario! what a house!
caryn collopy
At SJSU there was a travel ban CSU wide in early March, so clubs could not travel. Eventually all clubs were not able to practice and all activity stopped.
Jerrell Kelly
For us at WKU, when we were told to stop programming, we went into essentially cancelling Sport Clubs for the remainder of the year, and then with our Outdoor Program that was out, the shutdown came at he end of the trip so they just returned as normal.
Mario Rios
Campus Recreation was deemed essential at Texas State. We have minimized staffing. Some remote from home and some of us are in the office.
Priscilla Gaona
Also, does anyone have a business continuity plan they can share/talk about?
Kathy Obuszewski
Adding pandemics is the only thing I need to add to the aquatics manual
caryn collopy
SJSU REC has discussed this matter in addition to procedures together is there ever was a shelter in place order in our life time.
Autumn Cleverley
having more gloves and ppe on hand.
Jennifer Cobarrubias
Stanford has protocols for Air Quality, Our Water Curtailment procedures and even keeps a document of the emails that were sent out in the past as templates should any of these situations that are out of our control come up. It is a list of what supplies are needed and should be stocked up on what communication needs to be sent out and to who etc.
Colin Allison
Shelter is place was the Santa Clara County order
Jennifer Cobarrubias
Our county is calling it shelter in Place
Autumn Cleverley
our governor said “Stay at Home”- ohio
Kathy Obuszewski
Depends on the gov't. Ohio chose to say Stay at home instead of shelter in plae.
Cristina Rodriguez
County is using shelter in place
Brent Haack
I think it depends on the state
Jerrell Kelly
I think that's all based upon location and severity of outbreak
Gabby McCollum
VA has been: Stay at home
Blair Schuyler
Two different things to me
Chris Muller
Texas is using "Shelter in Place"
Jenna Dillon
VA is stay at hime
Melissa Bates
OR is Stay at Home
Jillian Dolciato
It is based on what the Department of Health for each state signs off on from the governor.
Julie Gillespie
WA is Stay Home, Stay Healthy
Kristyn Watts
The Governor for The State of Indiana has used "stay at home".
Colin Allison
https://www.sccgov.org/sites/phd/DiseaseInformation/novel-coronavirus/Pages/frequently-asked-questions.aspx
Chris Muller
The city of Fort Worth says "Y'all Stay Home".
Tyler Artley
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/us/coronavirus-stay-at-home-order.html
Tyler Artley
Nice article that deatails shelter in place vs stay at home order ^
Kathy Obuszewski
Ohio gov said he wanted the "stay at home" since it was clear. He was hesitstant to use "shelter in place" since most places using those terms had that term in place in with other diasters (like fire or hurricanes) but since Ohio didn't use shelter in place. The Stay at home was a clearer plan
Andrew Huff
I don’t believe that authorized under the international standards that both ARC and AHA fall under.
Kathy Obuszewski
Something in my LG and CPR trainings, I will tell them to think about purchasing a face mask from Amazon since you can get masks cheaply to put onto your keychain

John Wondra

Jillian Dolciato
for anyone who has virtual fitness classes, has your legal departments given you language to use?
John Wondra
yes, legal has given us guidance for virtual sessions
Bob Weeks
@Stefani, some states may require gyms or fitness centers to have CPR certified staff and/or AEDs on hand, so many of us probably can't
Gabby McCollum
Can we do this meeting 1 hour earlier? to accommodate for all time zones?
Aracelis Servedio
I hope not because the students were NOT following those protocols. That's when we decided to go to every other macheine, etc....
Stefani Plummer
@Bob thanks. I agree I think we won't change anything!
Abi Schaefer
