The DUSON “treadmill meeting room” located in room 3140 in the Pearson North Wing is now open! The room contains six low speed treadmills, each with a work surface, arranged in a U shape facing a video monitor with our standard conference room AV set up. This room is currently for faculty and staff only and requires your ID badge to access 24/7. It is now listed in Meeting Room Manager for reservations.

Think of this room just as you would any of our meeting rooms. You can reserve it in advance, hold an unplanned meeting in the room if it is not already scheduled, or take a walk on the treadmill while you get some individual work done. The same rules apply as any other meeting room, those who have reserved the room get priority for use. Please do not reserve the room for individual use, but feel free to use individually if it has not been reserved.

If someone in your meeting is not comfortable for any reason walking during the meeting, they should feel free to stand while others walk.  Likewise, if anyone in the meeting is not comfortable walking or standing during a meeting, then the meeting convener should simply choose another room.

Please note that this initiative is a product of our DUSON Wellness program which will also result in six additional stand-alone low speed treadmills equipped with computers being located in the new building.
