Campus Announcements

BUMC Access to Fuller Gym

 

Access to the Fuller Gym basketball court and recreational area has been granted to the BUMC community. All BUMC students, faculty and staff now have access to the space from 4-9 p.m., six days a week (the gym is closed on Tuesdays). Access is restricted to the gym floor. All users must complete a waiver form prior to using Fuller Gym. More information here.


If you use equipment, put it back where it belongs! Please note that if the gym is misused and equipment is not put away properly, we may restrict access to the space.

 

Supply Closet

All supplies borrowed from the closet must be returned to their storage space in the closet. The door to the closet is swipe access, and must stay closed and locked when equipment is not being actively retrieved or returned. Leaving the door unlocked poses a potential risk to the patients who use the gym during the non-BU hours.


Cardio Machines

Do not use the cardio equipment in the gym. This equipment belongs to the state. 

 

Free Weights

Free weights may be used and must be returned to their storage space in the supply closet.

 

Volleyball Net

The net must be returned to the supply closet and not left out on the gym floor. The net poles must be moved to the corner of the gym after use.

PARs


Personnel Activity Reports (PARs) for the period July-December 2021 are due back to Effort Reporting on Friday, April 8. Questions? Please contact effort@bu.edu.
