Basic Admission Philosophy

The Lewis-Clark State College Fitness Center (the “Center”) was constructed to serve as a recreational facility for the benefit of Lewis-Clark State College students, faculty, and staff.  Equipped with state-of-the-art equipment, it is designed to serve the needs of  Physical Education students, athletes, and the campus community in general.

 

It is not intended to serve the needs of the general public as the community is well served with commercial recreational fitness establishments and LCSC is cognizant of the need to avoid competition with private vendors in this arena. Due to issues of liability for injury, children under the age of 18 will not be allowed access to the facility except for scheduled classes and registered LCSC students. Certain other past and present members of the campus community may be provided access via paid membership as provided in the following policy statement.
