Extended opening hours of ISE gym


Extended opening hours of ISE gym
The Issue
Myself and my fellow university students are not happy with the current opening hours of the ISE gym on the University of Dundee's campus. The current opening hours are;
7am- 9.30pm = Monday - Friday
8.30am-5.30pm = Saturday and Sunday
This we feel is insufficient times to use the facilities. Most students have lectures all day and revise in the library and these times just don't fit the current schedule and lifestyle of a university student. Why are the weekend times shorter? In comparing the opening hours of the ISE to other Scottish Universities we found Dundee's gym to fall short of most competitors;
Aberdeen gym: 5.30am-10pm = Monday-Friday and 7.30am-7.30pm on Saturday and 7.30am-9.30pm on Sunday
Edinburgh gym: 6am-10pm = Monday-Friday and 9am-8pm on Saturday and Sunday
St Andrews gym: 6.30am-10pm = Monday to Friday and 8am-10.30pm on Saturday and 8am-9pm on Sunday
I reiterate that we just want the gym open longer!
