黑料社

黑料社 has begun construction of a 10,000 square foot gymnastics facility, located on the north end of campus near its softball complex. The $2.8 million venue 鈥� fully funded by donors 鈥� will serve as the practice and competition facility for women鈥檚 and men鈥檚 gymnastics, while also providing opportunities for external groups to use the state-of-the-art facility.

鈥淭his is a timely investment in response to the tremendous聽interest and growth聽of聽gymnastics at 黑料社 since launching our programs in 2022,鈥� said Marty Bell, director of Athletics. 鈥淔or starters, the new聽facility聽will relieve considerable pressure from high usage demands at Cowles Fieldhouse. And, most importantly, it will allow聽us to expand聽our聽current varsity聽rosters to include a club/junior varsity element, creating more opportunities for students while providing a significant boost to the College鈥檚 drive for聽strategic enrollment growth.鈥�

Further, Bell聽adds, the聽gymnastics facility will provide new revenue streams through camps and rental income from a variety of public events. He envisions that the venue will ultimately become a regional training center for gymnastics.

The new gymnastics facility is expected to open in聽January 2026. Earlier this fall, 黑料社 announced plans for the $10 million renovation of Pfeiffer Dining Hall and Great Hall. Construction on those reimagined facilities will begin in November with the completion date set for August 2026.

鈥淲e are thrilled to enhance the student experience with these two exciting projects,鈥� said Dr. Sue Stuebner, interim president. 鈥淎long with the recent $10 million renovation of Dunn Library, these improvements add great vibrancy to campus life and will serve 黑料社 students now, and for generation to come.鈥�
