These rooms contain the Bowflex PR1000 Home Gym, ProForm Hybrid Trainer, and a television.
The Multifaith Rooms were founded by Soka students as a way to support diversity in the halls. Multifaith Rooms offer a place for students to practice their faith individually or study religion in small groups.
