The new 1,500-square-foot annex at CC\u2019s Outdoor Education Center, made possible through a gift from recent CC chair of the Board of Trustees Eben Moulton \u201968<\/b>, aims to increase accessibility and convenience by bringing all gear and outdoor resources together under one (solar-paneled) roof. From renting a daypack, kayak, or snowshoes, to advice on following maps, winter-weather layering, or meal preparation, the new space on the north side of the Outdoor Education Center, 931 N. Nevada Ave., less than a block away from the new East Campus Housing Community, is the place to go for all outdoor-related resources. Open to students, faculty, and staff, the annex solves the former problem of having gear and rentals stored in various locations across campus.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re striving to decrease the barriers to participate in the outdoors, and make it as accessible as possible to everyone,\u201d says Outdoor Education Specialist Rachael Abler.<\/p>\n

The annex also offers space for ski and bike repairs, pre-trip planning meetings, and outdoor-related films. \u201cWe offer the four R\u2019s: rentals, resources, repairs, and retail,\u201d says Abler. The annex also sells consumable items such as camping utensils and water bottles at discounted rates. Another benefit: The annex doors open wide to adjacent Autrey Field, allowing plenty of space for those who want to practice setting up tents or testing stoves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
