Smoothie King is now open in the Vanderbilt Student Recreation Center.
The access point to the recreation center has moved a few yards west, closer to the outdoor running track. This will be our new entrance throughout the construction project.
Patrons approaching the Rec Center from 25th Ave will be diverted from the existing sidewalk to a temporary boardwalk. The temporary boardwalk will be in place for several months while this project is completed.
