Few undergraduates have taken advantage of the space since then. On a recent day, the ID checker's log at Hemenway showed that 8 College students, 13 faculty members and more than 50 law students had used the gym.
Since the building is not used by many of its students, FAS has done the bare minimum to maintain the facility.
"We've kept it safe, sanitary and code compliant," Zewinski says.
And law students agree that the facilities are poor. A survey administered by the Law School last year identified poor athletic facilities as a primary concern of its students.
With FAS unwilling to invest in a facility that its students don't use, some Law School students say Hemenway users are given short shrift.
"The turf war resulting from Harvard University's decentralization has delayed even the most obvious physical plant improvements," says Marc Lindemann, the Law School's intramural squash coordinator. "This infighting has hurt law students, who now are stuck with a mediocre gym whose infrastructure is falling apart and whose equipment is inadequate."
