Fitness center, weight room projects completed

Summer work to expand the student fitness center and construct a varsity athletics weight room in the Koury Center has been completed. Details...

The fitness center’s overwhelming popularity with students, faculty and staff required expansion of the facility to approximately 5,000 square feet. The expanded fitness center includes treadmills, stationary bikes, weight training equipment and traditional weights.

The 4,500-square foot varsity athletics weight room replaces the department’s previous facility at Elon West. With 28 main pieces of weight equipment, the room is designed to meet the strength and conditioning needs of Phoenix athletics teams.

Final touches and detail work will continue on both the fitness center and the weight room in the weeks before school opens. An aerobics room and two dance studios which are part of the project will also be ready for use fall semester.
