ATHLETICS - Athletic Performance Center

The addition of a new Athletic Performance Center, along with a new competition gym, will provide larger and therefore more safely managed space for weight training and management, and cardio-vascular conditioning, at a time when higher numbers of students are seeking such opportunities related to athletic team work (in and out of season) and/or personal fitness goals.

The Athletic Performance Center will …

• Provide additional space for team practices, and curtail the need for early morning practices that begin at 6:00 a.m. and many evening practices that extend until 9:00 p.m., thus allowing more study time.
• Expand the current weight room, in which its limited size has become a significant safety issue. More than 700 students use the weight room each year, yet it was designed to support just 400 students.
• Provide a large flex space: additional space for team practices, and non-athletics activities.
• Increase indoor practice space.
• Offer assembly and meeting space for 1,200 people.
• Provide ample space for basketball, volleyball, and wrestling programs.
