Originally constructed in the 1970s, the building underwent a significant transformation to provide enhanced facilities for the university’s sports teams and foster a more vibrant campus community.

The renovated building now houses state-of-the-art locker rooms for the football and lacrosse teams, complete with dedicated shower and bathroom areas. The locker room’s layout is designed to maximize space and create a better flow for student-athletes, featuring floor-to-ceiling tiles, which offer a clean and modern touch. The other half of the building is dedicated to a baseball turf and batting cages, allowing the baseball team to practice in a more conducive environment. The building features a new entrance, windows for natural light, and an upgraded steel staircase, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing exterior. A new plaza has been constructed outside the building. This plaza, adorned with brick seat walls and attractive landscaping, not only enhances the attractiveness of the building, but also contributes to a more pedestrian-friendly campus environment.
