As of Tuesday August 10, 2021, face masks will be required of all individuals using the University Recreation Center.
Due to the current Tarrant County Community Spread Level of “High Transmission,” TCU requires that face masks be worn in all indoor campus spaces to help protect the health and safety of our community. TCU will continue to monitor county transmission and confirmed vaccinations in our community.
Face masks covering the nose and mouth must be worn by all individuals (students, staff, faculty and visitors). Face coverings must be worn even if alone.
The full mask requirement statement can be found on our Protect the Purple website.
