Okay freshman, how long are you going to walk around campus looking noticeably scrawny? Don’t waste any more time. Start walking towards the construction on the northeast side of campus. All you need is your student I.D. Once in, the world is yours. In the Hilliard Gates center, there are all sorts of ways for you to exercise and get big. Featuring an indoor track and three full court basketball/volleyball courts, Gates always has room for you.
Some equipment includes elliptical machines, treadmills, and many muscle building stations. In its entirety, Gates is 68,106 square feet. It is a three-level facility with five racquetball/handball courts and a huge fitness center. The fitness center includes state-of-the-art Life Fitness Bikes, treadmills, elliptical EFX Cross Trainers, Stairmasters, Concept II rowing machines, and Airodyne bikes.
The construction, while inconvenient, will be worth it in the end. The finished product will feature a new and improved indoor track. Gates will also be connected to Walb Student Union, creating easy access between buildings. It is set to be completed in 2012. Gates is also home to the Men’s and Women’s volleyball matches, and select Men’s and Women’s basketball games. All parking by students must be done in the parking garage. All spaces in the parking lot are reserved for faculty and staff.
