The Challenges today
While our campus has grown and transformed, our athletic spaces have not kept pace. The strength and scale of our athletic program now exceed what our current facilities were designed to support, revealing the following challenges.
OvercrowdedFacilities: A single, aging gym can no longer accommodate the daily practice and competition needs of 29 teams.
Dependenceonoff-CampusPracticesFacilities: Many teams are forced to practice off site, often early in the morning or late in the evening cutting into academic focus, family time, and rest.
InadequateFacilitiesforFemaleAthletes: Our female student-athletes lack appropriate locker rooms and support spaces, underscoring the urgent need to fully deliver on our commitment to equitable, inclusive facilities.
Over the past 25 years, we have transformed our campus.
