Active Living provides coin lockers for day-use while working out. The lockers cost .25¢ per entry. The money we collect from this nominal fee goes into maintaining the lockers, and to subsidize programs for students. A number of semester lockers are available for term use on a first come, first serve basis. Students can reserve a locker for the semester by visiting Active Living Client services. A towel service is also available.
