Avery Rec Pool Closure
Starting Monday, February 6, 2023, the Avery Recreation Pool at AOERC will be closed to complete a significant maintenance project that includes installing a new plaster coat and re-doing the underwater lighting. The project may take up to eight weeks and we anticipate re-opening the Avery Recreation Pool for the start of Spring Quarter 2023.
Pool Update
Until further notice, the shallow end of the Avery Rec Pool will be intermittently closed from 5:00 PM - 8:00 PM due to light issues.
