Rosemont Health and Fitness Club gets upgrades

The final round of renovations are being done at the Rosemont Health and Fitness Club as part of a multiyear facility upgrade project.

The village board voted last week to approve proposals worth $215,000 for renovation of the women's locker room and replacement of lighting throughout the building with energy efficient bulbs. The village also received $70,000 in energy efficiency grants to pay for lighting upgrades.

Mayor Brad Stephens said the improvements mark the final stages of modernization of the 93,000-square-foot rec center, located at 10225 W. Higgins Road. The facility opened 22 years ago. It formerly served as a storage facility for Bepex International.
