It's a well maintained, smaller gym in the heart of the campus. Don't expect to use this gym unless you are a registered student on the auraria campus, or alumni (although I believe alum/non registered summer students must pay a one time fee). Good modern equipment and small climbing wall. Bring a lock for lockers because it is a high...
