The ORC should be open on weekends!
I don't understand why the ORC would be closed on the most popular days for going tubing and such. Everyone has different schedules so doing something during the week is nearly impossible, especially if there's homework, projects, etc. Most people only have free time on the weekends. Open the ORC for rentals!

Hey, I work at the Student Rec Center front desk, and we have to work on the weekends, and I know IM workers have to as well. It is kind of weird that the ORC is closed when that is a regular occurrence for the other employees of the rec.

Hey there! ORC employee here.
I agree that it is difficult to plan things for the week, but to accommodate for closures on the weekend, we offer a weekend rate of pricing. That means if you rent an item for the weekend on Friday, you get the item Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday until closing at the price of 2 days. Outside of this, us employees like to go to parties, climb, camp, bike, and hike on the weekends ourselves so it is unlikely that any of us would work the weekend. Hope this explains why we don’t do this.
