IMA Reopening Visuals

Now that the IMA Building has reopened, we thought we’d share some images of what you can expect upon your arrival! While the building may look the same from the outside, there are a few changes you need to know about.

First, be sure to make a reservation before arriving at the IMA Building, and review the IMA Guidelines page to ensure you’re prepared! If you have questions beforehand, you can always reach out to us at recinfo@uw.edu, and if you have questions while you’re at the facility, feel free to ask any UW Recreation staff.
