SPORTS UPDATES NEW Home for Athletics
MILLERSVILLE ATHLETICS has a new home. In January, the department moved into Lehigh Hall, previously known as Gilbert Hall. The former dormitory underwent major renovations to convert it into office spaces, and the result was a significant success. Lehigh Hall is now a showcase facility for recruiting and a home for the studentathletes to meet, study and watch films of games. One wing of the first floor was converted into the Morgan Academic Center with multiple computer labs, quiet spaces and group study rooms. Walls on each of the three floors were demolished to create film study and meeting rooms where more than a dozen student-athletes can meet with coaches at once. All coaches received new offices and branded furniture. Millersville University IT also provided smart TVs in each office, study space and conference room. There was an emphasis on the building’s branding. Among the features are banners throughout the hallways commemorating every PSAC Championship team in Millersville’s history.
