Thanks
to the donation from Joel E. Smilow '54, the Bulldog's have a newly
renovated multi-purpose facility on Derby Avenue across the street from
the football practice fields and next to Coxe Cage. The facility was
completed in time for the fall 1993 athletic season and includes a 10,000
net square foot addition with new mechanical and electrical equipment.
The
Smilow Center has spacious locker rooms for each of the men's and women's
varsity teams and several visitors' locker rooms with an adjoining athletic
training room. The first floor showcases a beautiful lounge area with
kitchen, varsity locker rooms, an improved athletic equipment distribution
and storage area, laundry facilities, and a new varsity athletic training
center with an eight person whirlpool, X-ray room, physician examining
room, eight taping stations, medical supply storage area and medical
staff office space. The second floor includes more locker rooms, storage
areas, team meeting areas with video capability, and a sports media
room. The third floor has coaches locker rooms and conference rooms.
The facility also has a new strength training room in the basement.
