Jacksonville State University President Dr. William A. Meehan formally dedicated the William Taylor Stewart Strength & Conditioning Center Monday afternoon in a ribbon cutting ceremony.
The 6,000-square foot state-of-the-art facility is one of the premier strength and conditioning centers in the Ohio Valley Conference and will serve all 16 athletic programs and more than 350 Gamecock student-athletes.
The Donald Stewart Family donated $204,000.00 to furnish the new Strength & Conditioning Center and the facility is named in the honor their son – William Taylor Stewart, who is a 1999 graduate of Jacksonville State University.
“We really appreciate the Stewart Family and what they have done for Jacksonville State University,” said Dr. Meehan. “This will set the foundation for the strength and conditioning for all our athletic teams. We are very proud of our student-athletes. This facility will allow them to be more competitive in their sport.”
The new facility is part of a $2.5 million Athletic Multi-Purpose Building, which will house the Baseball, Golf, Softball and Volleyball teams as well as the entire athletic administration.
“The contribution is substantial because this facility will not only impact of 350-plus student athletes now, but for future years to come,” said JSU Athletic Director Jim Fuller. “When you take a look at other facilities around the country, there are not many that will be any better than ours.”
Jacksonville State University has already raised $9.5 million of the goal of $17.5 million and the capital campaign will culminate on the University’s 125th Anniversary in 2009.
