Recreation & Wellbeing at the University of Wisconsin-Madison

It's going to be warm in the buildings this week, Active Badgers.

Due to a broken chilled water line that serves the UW-Madison campus, the cooling (A/C) capacity is being reduced across many campus buildings. Starting on June 29, the indoor temperatures and humidity at the Nick and at Bakke will increase noticeably.

We will remain open despite these conditions, and will keep you updated on the temperature situation as it continues. If you come in, please hydrate, be mindful of how you feel, and adjust your workout as needed!

Calling all UW-Madison faculty and staff 📞 summer intramural sports are back! 😎
