Although the city experiences another three-week lockdown, implemented on March 19, the sports facilities at the Woodroffe campus will continue with some minor changes.
While the period between the strict winter lockdown and this new red zone period saw some campus fitness activity somewhat returned to normal, this new phase still offers a way for people to stay active.
The fitness center, which previously accommodated 30 people, will now only accommodate a dozen. Individuals must make an appointment by phone, directly at the fitness center office. Students are allowed to have a maximum of 90 minutes of training.
For the gymnasium, a time slot reservation is required and can be done in person or by phone. A student can only book for themselves and cannot book for others. No advance reservation can be made; you have to reserve the day they want to come. If you are more than 15 minutes late, your time slot will be reallocated.
The basketball court operates Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays with six students per time slot. Thursdays are devoted to volleyball which allows eight students per time slot and badminton on Fridays with eight students per time slot.
“I’m happy and excited that sports are back on campus,” said Rhutvik Katam, a student in the Culinary Management program. “I missed playing badminton on our varsity field. I try to come and play badminton here at least once a week, usually with my roommate.
You must have a student ID to enter the fitness center and gymnasium. Students must wear a mask at all times.
