Future Plans

Future construction phases will add more features to the athletics and events center. Below are several of the planned features.

Basketball and Volleyball Center

A 17,000-square-foot basketball/volleyball center with a hardwood surface; uniform, indirect lighting; a 2,500-seat spectator area; official scorer's table/press box; and videotaping booths at mid-court for basketball and end-court for volleyball. This exclusive venue for basketball and volleyball will allow more court time for practices and a better opportunity for hosting postseason competitions.

Gymnastics Center

A 22,400-square-foot gymnastics center with recessed training pits; a recessed floor exercise area; and a 500-seat spectator area. The facility will allow sufficient space for athletes to train and compete without endangering one another and will enable coaches and trainers to leave expensive equipment in place, extending equipment life and minimizing malfunction.

Rowing Center

A 4,200-square-foot rowing center with rowing tanks; ergometers; an exercise/warm-up area; and synthetic flooring with mats. This year-round facility will enable athletes to train regardless of the weather and allow them to stay on campus, rather than travel to other training locations.

Tennis Center

A 43,200-square-foot tennis center with four to six courts; a synthetic rubber surface; a 500-seat spectator area; and locker rooms. Athletes will be able to practice in all weather, and the College will be eligible to host postseason events.

Wrestling Center

A 13,000-square-foot wrestling center with three 50-foot square competition/training mats; synthetic flooring; and a 600-seat spectator area. The center will give wrestlers sufficient space to avoid injuries and will enable leaving mats set up, thereby extending their life. The center will also enable the College to host national championships.

Strength and Conditioning Center

A 4,300- to 6,000-square-foot area with free weights, cardiovascular equipment, and rubber flooring. The center will improve the quality of Ithaca's strength and conditioning program and enhance athletic performance and recruiting. It will provide equipment for both men and women, allow easier monitoring, and enhance safety.
