COVID-19

Exercise helps clear our minds and helps us to sleep better.  Our Workouts and Links page has some great ideas to help you keep active. 

We have enhanced our cleaning and safety protocols for the Beauchamp Center.  It is our goal to provide facility users with a safe and welcoming workout space.  

For Your Safety

The Beauchamp Center receives regular deep cleaning at night and targeted cleaning during the day.  We encourage all users to ensure a safe and clean workout experience by cleaning touch points and sweat drips before and after workouts.  Towels or disposable wipes are available throughout the facility.  During the COVID-19 pandemic, staff will be cleaning touchpoints more frequently.

Oregon and Multnomah County guidelines guide Rec Services regarding masking and other COVID- related poliicies.  Facility users are encouraged to wear a mask over their mouth and nose while in the Facility.

Guidance regarding COVID-19 & other illnesses

Users with any transmissible illness should not enter the BRWC.  Those who are within the 10-day quarantine period after being exposed to COVID-19, or who are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 should not enter the BRWC.  

Before coming to the Rec Center, please consider these questions and do not enter the facility if you answer "yes" to any of them:

Do you have any of the following?
Fever or feeling feverish (such as chills, sweating), cough, mild or moderate difficulty breathing, sore throat, muscle aches or body aches, vomiting or diarrhea, or a recent loss of taste or smell.

Have you been told by a healthcare provider that you or someone in your household should be in isolation or quarantine?

Are you scheduled to receive a medically recommended test for COVID-19, or are your results pending?

Do you have a temperature greater than or equal to 100.4 Fahrenheit or 38 Celsius?

Please be aware that users may enter the facility who are infected with COVID-19. People who have COVID-19 may not have symptoms, may have mild symptoms or may not yet be showing symptoms. This means that Beauchamp Center visitors may be contagious with COVID-19, making it very important that members continue to follow guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention by maintaining physical distance, washing hands often, and cleaning high-touch surfaces frequently.  Users should clean touch points in shared spaces including weight & cardio rooms, studios, equipment, etc., before and after use.  Disposable wipes & cleaning towels are located throughout the facility.

COVID-19 -related policies reflect input and regulations put forth by the State, County, University, Oregon Health Authority (OHA), the CDC.  We also consult with colleagues in the field of University Recreation.
