CSC facilities reopening to the public Monday
CHADRON – After being closed to the public since Nov. 18, 2020, Chadron State College will reopen select facilities to the community beginning Monday, Jan. 25. The buildings reopening to the public are the Nelson Physical Activity Center, the Mari Sandoz High Plains Heritage Center, Crites Hall, King Library, Memorial Hall, and the Chicoine Center.
Anyone attending an event or using a CSC facility must follow the college’s Face Covering Policy, wear a mask, and maintain social distance.
“The President’s Cabinet decided to lift the restriction on campus in the interest of the community members who use our facilities and enrich their lives with the cultural events and athletic contests CSC provides,” said President Randy Rhine. “Allowing the public to attend events in a safe and responsible manner is also important to our students because they get the opportunity to showcase their unique talents. This decision was made with the understanding that if the number of positive cases in the region increases, CSC reserves the right to restrict access to campus in the future.”
The Nelson Physical Activity Center weight room, cardio room, and arena will open to the public Monday, Jan. 25, at 6 a.m. Masks must be worn at all times and all individuals should plan to clean equipment after use. The facility’s usage rate will be monitored and it will not exceed 75 percent of its stated occupancy.
The NPAC’s hours are: Monday through Thursday from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m., Friday from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m., Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., and Sunday from 1 to 7 p.m. The weight room and cardio room will be closed daily for 30-minute cleaning sessions at 9 a.m. and 2 p.m.
Masks and social distancing are required at all campus events. For athletic events, public attendance is subject to the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference’s winter sport plans, which are available at www.chadroneagles.com/Winter2021. The Athletic Department will announce when fans are allowed at its website www.chadroneagles.com. Additionally, the public is invited to attend other campus events, including musical and theatrical performances, while following campus and public health guidelines.

Chadron State College will continue to follow guidance from the Panhandle Public Health District (PPHD) and Nebraska Directed Health Measures, and may identify buildings or spaces to close at a later time.
