YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) -- Eastern Michigan University and the EMU Department of Athletics held an official ground breaking ceremony for the Student-Athlete Performance and Success Center, which is located on the north end of Rynearson Stadium. The project was previously approved by the EMU Board of Regents on Dec. 15, 2017.
The new construction project for sports medicine and training facilities provides a 60,000 square foot structure that will house the sports medicine, performance and equipment operations areas. Additionally, the facility will house locker rooms, coaches' offices, and meeting spaces for the football team, while also including a new video board inside Rynearson Stadium.
The athletics component was just one of three major facility improvements approved by the Regents at their December meeting in the areas of academics, student life and athletics. A total investment of $76 million was authorized with $40 million set for the renovation and expansion of Sill Hall and $16 million for an upgrade to the Rec/IM facility.
The Student-Athlete Performance and Success Center is Phase I of the Championship Building Plan and is heavily supported by fundraising efforts.
The structure will be located near the northwest corner of Rynearson Stadium, and is the first major athletics facility enhancement designed to service nearly every one of EMU's varsity teams since the Convocation Center was completed in 1998.
