Doane Community,
We decided today, based on local and national recommendations, to close all indoor fitness areas on Crete campus effective immediately. This includes the Haddix weight room, fitness center and gymnasium. This also includes the Fuhrer Fieldhouse area and Butler Gym. Lauritsen Track and Papik Field will remain open during regular posted hours at this time.
We plan to evaluate this situation weekly moving forward. This is not an easy decision as it affects students, employees and community members, but at this time it is in the best interest of all.
Thank you for your continued patience and understanding,
Matt Franzen, Director of Athletics
