Last weekend Antioch College opened to the public its 44,000-square foot Wellness Center currently undergoing a yearlong $8 million renovation. Antioch employees showed visitors some of the features the center will boast when it opens in September:
- A renovated six-lane competition-length pool that uses a UV filtration system to minimize chlorine.
- A therapeutic whirlpool.
- Renovated locker rooms, a “grab and go” snack bar, and lounge area.
- Numerous indoor courts on which to play basketball, volleyball, racquetball, badminton and “pickleball,” a 1960s game played with a racket now in vogue.
- Several spaces for group classes like yoga, Pilates, Zumba and more.
- The “South Gym” area renovated into a multipurpose room with banquet and conference space.
- A preserved 1930s mural in the East Gym.
- A large workout room in what was formerly the West Gym.
- Use of re-purposed gym floors throughout the facility.
- An office space for visiting health care practitioners.
- Areas for massage and childcare.
- ADA compliance throughout with an elevator that accesses all three stories.
Antioch will announce its membership rates in an insert in the July 3 issue of the News. All membership passes are “all in one,” providing access to the entire facility.
The center’s official grand opening is slated for Saturday, Sept. 6.
