There may be times when the rec center is closed due to a campus emergency, or inclement weather. This will be communicated in two ways. One way is the BRCC Alert System. This is the fastest way to receive info regarding weather or emergency closure. Community Members must self-register for this in order to receive texts, phone calls, or both. The second way is through our Membership email. Emails will be sent to members as needed via the following email address: BRCCrec@brcc.edu.
