Brandeis has a pool again!
As President Rosen's latest e-mail announces, "the Linsey Pool at Brandeis University is back up and running," with an opening ceremony scheduled for this Saturday.
This is a great accomplishment! Here's to the petitions members of the Brandeis community created, the e-mails they sent, the articles they wrote, the surveys they took, all of which added up to a strong plea to the Board of Trustees to renovate our pool!
From a BrandeisNow article published on March 31st, the day the Board of Trustees approved the renovation:
Student surveys showed that the pool was one of their top priorities, past members of the swimming and diving team strongly advocated for the facility and alumni lobbied both former President Jehuda Reinharz and President Lawrence.
Changes to expect from the pool when you go there, as reported by BrandeisNow? (If you were here long enough ago to remember the old pool.)
Senior Vice President for Administration Mark Collins said the project includes new mechanical and electrical infrastructure, new locker rooms, repairs to the pool and pool deck, a new entryway and updates to the lobby.
Go activism! Be proud, all those who campaigned for a new pool! Here is your dessert!
