West Campus contains the athletic departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offices, new Student Life Center, which is home to TUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s athletic training room and state-of-the-art fitness center and weight room, and newly renovated gymnasium. Welcome Lobby in the Student Life Center When you arrive at the Thomas University Athletic Department, you will be greeted by our staff with open arms. Once inside the building, visitors will see our Champions Wall that features past conference championships, national tournament qualifiers, individual recognitions, coach of the year plaques, retired jerseys, national championship trophies, and an assortment of other awards. Guests to the athletic department can relax in our comfy seating area and read a magazine or watch programming on our big screen television. Staff Offices & Magnolia Conference Room The athletic department offices are housed within the Magnolia Street complex. This area of the building features ample space for each coaching staff, administrator, and our sports information department. The office entrance area houses a conference wall that features placards of all Sun Conference members and a sitting area highlighted by the 2004 NAIA Softball National Championship trophy and rings. Just a few steps past the entrance lobby sits the Magnolia Conference Room.
