Haas renovation enhances student-athlete experience

A $2.3 million donor-funded renovation of Haas Athletic Center has been completed, enhancing the Wheaton experience for student-athletes as well as the entire campus community. In addition to overall infrastructure and HVAC improvements, some of the key upgrades include: a greatly expanded 1,800-square-foot strength and conditioning center for team workouts and training; the Marcus Family Film and Media Room for staff and teams to discuss and review tactics and strategies; an updated lobby area and office suites; and improved landscaping.

Supporting student-athletes has been important to their success both in the classroom as well as on the playing fields. To build on that success, an anonymous alum and their spouse issued a matching gift challenge to generate contributions to the Catalyst Fund that got this project underway.
