The Need for Renovation
Aquinas College has begun a $6.5 million Fieldhouse renovation project (Phase 1 of the two-phase Sports and Fitness Center project) designed to benefit the College's athletic program and general wellness of the campus community as well as aid in student recruitment and retention. The project will feature a new fitness center, a new competition court for basketball and volleyball with seating for 2,000, new main floor locker rooms, three classrooms, a conference room, hospitality room and offices for both faculty and staff. In addition, the project will provide the facility requirements necessary for recertification of the College's Athletic Training Education program
