Which facilities have swimming pools?

00:45:53Jomah Watson

Howard has a swimming pool

00:49:06Jomah Watson

Who share facilities with athletics?

00:49:12Reginald LeGrier

I think that will be the biggest thing is how much will the staff buy in to cleaning their own areas especially if we are talking about student employees being responsible for that in the intramural and common areas. That has come up in terms needing any training to be able to do so or even the risk of exposure.

00:49:50Rahim Booth

We share with athletics as well
