Weight Room
With the arrival of the 2018 academic year, the Southwest Baptist University Athletics Department announced the re-opening of its newly renovated Athletics Weight Room. As firm believers in our mission of giving SBU student-athletes the very best possible experience from top to bottom, having a top-notch facility to improve strength and conditioning became a must. Southwest Baptist University sports some of the premier facilities in Division II Athletics and our athletes deserved a weight room that was on par with everything else that Southwest Baptist University has to offer.
The renovation project, which began in May of 2018 lasted nearly two months and transformed every aspect of the weight room. No surface inside was left untouched. From equipment, to accessories, to the structural attributes of the room, everything was evaluated for improvements and either refurbished or replaced new. Local vendors came in and offered design improvements and assisted in making the projects vision come to life. Input was sought from all of the varsity sports teams on campus and the end result became a facility crafted to meet the needs of our athletes. Additionally, the interior design team implemented a bold and inspirational aesthetic that pays tribute to all our men's and women's programs.
