WSU Summer Escape: Optional Amenities

WSU is proud to offer some optional amenities to enhance your stay during the summer.

Purple Pass—Chartwells (the food service provider to WSU) invites all Summer Escape guests to purchase a Purple Pass to enjoy breakfast and/or lunch during the weekdays. Guests simply put a minimum of $25 on the Purple Pass and use it as a declining balance card (similar to how you would use a gift card) to purchase ala carte items to eat. A weekly menu will be posted at the East Lake Apartments so you can plan ahead. The Purple Pass can be refilled at any time. This is a great way to get out of the hot kitchen and take a stroll through campus!
WSU Wellness Center—The WSU Wellness Center is an air-conditioned fitness center open to the WSU and Winona community. A variety of cardiovascular machines such as stationary bicycles and stair-steppers are available as well as free weights and circuit weights. The Director of the Wellness Center (Jeff Reinardy) is available to help you set up a routine to help you keep in shape or strengthen areas of your body. Punch card passes are available for $20 which is good for 10 visits to the Wellness Center.
* WSU Swimming Pool—As a member of the WSU Learning Club, the swimming pool is available for your use Monday- Thursday for relaxation or lap swims. Open swim hours will be posted when you arrive.
WSU Library—The Darrell W. Krueger Library is the largest public library in Southeast Minnesota. Several computer terminals are available for the public to use to browse the internet or access the library’s research databases. There are also several art collections dotting the three floors of the library including a number of Remington statues donated by one of our professors. Even if you don’t use the library for its information, it is quite a treat to walk through the building and see the art!
Laptop Rental—If you wish to hook up your own computer to the internet, you MUST have your computer scanned by the WSU Technical Support Center (at your own expense) to ensure there are no viruses. Laptops (including any technical support needed) are available for rent if desired for $10/day, $40/week, or $160/month.
