OUR MISSION
Lifetime Wellness through Collaboration, Education, Innovation
The Well will be a multi-use facility with multi-activity courts, weight and fitness
rooms, climbing wall, indoor track and a new student health center. Students
will be able to exercise, participate in group recreational activities, access health-
care services, study and socialize.
Located at the north end of Hornet Stadium and near key campus destinations
such as the Union, Library and Parking Structure III, the Center will be a catalyst
for a renewed and vibrant campus life. It will also be a resource for alumni,
faculty and staff.
At 150,000 square feet, the facility will offer a host of cutting-edge fitness, rec-
reation, and athletic opportunities.
Architectural design by Hornberger & Worstell began in August 2006 and schematic
designs are complete. Construction by general contractor McCarthy Building
Companies started in 2008 and is scheduled to be completed in Summer, 2010.
Upon its opening in Fall 2010, the Center anticipates LEED silver certification from
the United States Green Building Council. The Center will reflect good design
decisions like orientation to natural light, as well as the incorporation of low-energy
materials and technology such as recycled content finishes, self shading skylights,
and site cast exterior panels. |
