Fieldhouse & Fitness Center

Discussions about an indoor fieldhouse had been taking place for years, but the much-needed project became a reality when a group of Columbus Academy families came together to offer a significant portion of the funding, thus relieving the schoolfrom undertaking a major philanthropic campaign. Within the fieldhouse’s 24,000 square feet – which opened in January 2020 – are 18 basketball hoops suspended from the ceiling, a rock climbing wall next to stairs that lead up to a mezzanine, a conference room and six offices for coaches and staff. The flooring is a top-of-the-line Mondo surface that contains three regulation basketball courts used for practices, games, fitness training and PE classes. In addition, the existing locker rooms were overhauled and extra ones were added to accommodate all of our teams and to provide ample space for hosting multiple sporting events at the same time.

The Fitness Center has evolved from what was once a typical weight room where teams workout, to a training area open to all students, faculty and staff. Racks in the facility have been upgraded with state-of-the-art lifting equipment, along with more floor space and various aerobic machines. These improvements have provided the opportunity for our strength and conditioning program to grow and continue to set the path for a fit and healthy lifestyle for students of all ages.
