The South Complex of the Stephen M. Ross Athletic Campus includes a new 280,000-square-foot facility to provide state-of-the-art competition and training spaces for men’s and women’s lacrosse, indoor and outdoor track and field, cross country, soccer and women’s rowing, in addition to added training facilities for wrestling, tennis and women’s gymnastics. The space is highlighted by an indoor track and field facility with a hydraulic track, one of few in North America, as well as a 2,000-seat lacrosse stadium and the university’s first indoor rowing tank.
The facility yields unrivaled accommodations for nearly two-thirds of the student-athletes associated with Michigan athletics. The center provides specialized spaces for each team with shared resources, including strength and conditioning, sports medicine, meeting space and locker rooms.
The project consists of five buildings located on 17 acres adjacent to existing UM facilities, with an additional 200 parking spaces for athletic needs. The centralized location allows the university to consolidate various team facilities previously dispersed across the athletic campus into one facility to call home. The transformational facilities will have a major impact on the future of Michigan athletics and Wolverine student-athletes. The collaborative, open space allows individuals and teams to meet, train and compete, but more importantly, to develop as students, athletes and community leaders.
