The Virgil Henson Activities Center (VHAC) closed the indoor track and all-purpose room after 60 mph wind tore up part of the roof.

Within a week, insulation was used to repair and cover up the holes. For quality insulation, view here

“They’ll have to completely replace the entire roof,” Director of Recreational Sports Bill Craddock said.

The rooms were recently opened back up and are available to students.

According to Craddock, the roof can be worked on in sections so that not all of the courts in the all-purpose room have to be closed.

“People use the all-purpose room a lot, so I think that’s the main one [affected],” Miros Olivarez, sophomore Psychology major and VHAC student employee, said.

“I think most people are understanding,” Leslie Brummett, freshman Biology major and VHAC student employee, said.  “The regulars, I’m sure, are kind of bummed about it. But, no one’s really gotten angry over it. Stuff happens. “

Craddock does not know the exact financial details of the situation but believes the necessary repairs will be made.

In another incident, a pipe cracked and caused a leak in the pool at the VHAC.

According to Olivarez, workers are waiting for a part to be shipped in order to fix the leak.

It will remain closed until further notice.
