The Georgia Institute of Technology broke ground on the Thomas A. Fanning Student-Athlete Performance Center during a ceremony this week.
The 100,000-square-foot facility will serve as a state-of-the-art hub for Georgia Tech student-athletes, with areas dedicated to:
- Strength and conditioning
- Sports medicine (including mental health services)
- Nutrition
- Expanded and enhanced meeting and office space
The Fanning Center will also be equipped with the Institute’s first-ever sports science lab, which will use pro-model motion tracking to capture student-athletes’ performance data that will feed into an in-house data analytics office for performance tracking and analysis.

- In Pennsylvania, the Quakertown Community School District celebrated the district’s new multipurpose field during a grand opening ceremony held prior to the baseball team’s home opener March 22. Featuring artificial turf grass, a new batter’s eye and a lighting system, the field will be used for baseball, field hockey and soccer. The field also addresses a previous drainage issue and provides future cost savings due to low maintenance and the minimal upkeep needed throughout the seasons. St. Luke’s University Health Network in Quakertown assisted in funding the upgraded digital scoreboard and is partnering with the district to provide athletic training services at no cost, the school district added.
