When choosing flooring for the SRC, CSUN officials evaluated several competing products and they visited recreation centers at several other colleges and universities. We looked at their flooring, asked them how they scheduled and used their facilities, and talked to them about different flooring materials, said Jason Wang, CSUN university student union associate executive director. And Mondo kept coming out on top. It really was not a difficult decision.

CSUN chose Mondo Advance flooring for the MatArena Multi Activity Court, which is used for basketball, volleyball, indoor soccer and other activities; Mondos Super X Performance running track surface for the SRCs 1/8-mile indoor track; and two Mondo products for the SRCs three fitness zonesthe Bryan Green Matador Training Zone and the Total Training Zone both feature Sport Impact flooring, and the Top Level Training Zone has Sportflex M.

--Mondo Advance is recognized as the industrys most durable and highest-performing sports flooring surface for gymnasiums and multipurpose facilities. It is long lasting, with life expectancy of more than 20 years, and it is 100 percent recyclable.

--Super X Performance has been the worlds top track for more than 30 years and was the track of eight Olympic Games through 2004. It provides maximum energy absorption and return for superior comfort and safety.

--Sport Impact is Mondos premium weight- and skate-resistant rubber flooring. It protects against heavy impact and is antibacterial and antimicrobial throughout.

--Sportflex M, Mondos indoor-outdoor multipurpose rubber flooring, withstands static and rolling loads, such as bleachers, tables and chairs. It is stain resistant and does not require any coatings or special maintenance.

The SRC serves a large student populationenrollment is nearly 36,000so Wang said durability and ease of maintenance were key features for the venues flooring, and the products have lived up to expectations. Mondo is an industry leader in the ease of maintenance, durability and performance of its flooring surfaces, he said. The Mondo flooring has been a joyits easy to clean, super easy to maintain, and its performance is really good, so the people who use it are excited about how it plays.
