...organization. Both rooms had awkward and intruding pipes in the ceiling, making the spaces feel even busier. The gym lacked a television. In Adams' defense, the entire floor was nicely covered with green interlocking mats. The cardio room included three elliptical machines/cross ramps, a treadmill, a bike, an erg (Concept 2), and a stairs machine...
Thank goodness Lowell House residents live so close to the MAC. Their gym is simply underequipped. Most significantly they lack a treadmill and an erg. They don't have a television either. Their gym is in an unlabeled, converted squash court in C entry. They do have three bike machines, but two of them look like they're decades old.

The mosque was never meant to exist but to generate discussion. Mission accomplished: elders have sniffed that it isn't traditional enough and Dutch-born Muslims eager to see the mosque's role expand beyond prayer have applauded...
