Weight Room Conversion

The opening of the fitness center freed up 3,000 square feet of space previously used as the Cecil-Frum Strength Training Facility in the basement of Memorial Gymnasium. This area was renovated during the spring of 2006 into a variety of spaces to serve all student-athletes. The renovation was funded by a generous gift from Charles W. '52 and Priscilla Porter and matching dollars raised from wrestling alumni through the Porter Challenge.

Facility renovations include:

James "Sherman" Nordin '67 Wrestling Workout Room -- Adjacent to the current strength training facility and the Joseph '65 and Nancy Masterson wrestling practice room. This new workout area includes equipment specifically for the use of wrestlers.

Team Meeting/Film Room -- This area is used by all teams for meetings and to view films and tapes before and after games and meets.

Athletic Training Room Expansion -- This new area doubles the space devoted to keeping all Knox student-athletes in tip-top shape.
