The State University of New York at Plattsburgh has doubled the size of its on-campus fitness center since opening the newly renovated space in Memorial Hall.
Now more than 12,000 square feet of space, the fitness center —university’s key facility for varsity athletics and student recreation — on the first floor of Memorial Hall underwent a $30 million renovation.
Users will find a bright, strategically designed space with cardio equipment. Strength conditioning machines and equipment are situated off to the left, and the reception desk to the immediate left. A group fitness classroom is located off the cardio area.
There is also a two-story climbing wall.
MiraCosta College in Oceanside, Calif., has unveiled a new 40,000-square-foot campus gym. It offers features a basketball court, volleyball court, lobby, a coach gym with giant TV screen to watch film on, team rooms, classrooms, offices and more.
The complex replaces its previous gym built in the 1960s, and it is so much more than a gym, as it features a basketball court, volleyball court, lobby, a coach gym with giant TV screen to watch film on, team rooms, classrooms, offices, and more.
The complex also includes laundry facilities to serve both the student athletes and students struggling with housing insecurity.
