Construction underway on new Student Fitness Center
Construction on University of Detroit Mercy's new Student Fitness Center began with the groundbreaking ceremony on Sept. 22, 2011, and is now well underway. Please continue to visit this site for construction updates and to view live streaming of the building's progress!
Two-stories tall, the 40,000 square-foot Student Fitness Center will feature a two-court gymnasium for recreation and intramural sports such as basketball, volleyball, badminton and floor hockey; an elevated three-lane track; a group exercise room; men's and women's locker rooms and restrooms; a lobby and student lounge; and a convenient pit stop with healthy snacks.
On the east side of the Engineering Building, the Fitness Center is centrally located for easy access and will echo the collegiate Spanish architectural theme of the original McNichols Campus buildings. The Center will face the Kassab Mall, in close proximity to the University's new tennis complex and pavilion, practice fields, residence halls and historic Calihan Hall. The Student Fitness Center is expected to open fall 2012.
