Florida Southern’s 500+ athletes got a serious upgrade to their training when the college unveiled the nearly completed Adams Athletic Performance Center this week.

Named after Bob, Ginny, and Joel Adams, the 15,000-sqft, three-story facility sits off of South Ingraham Avenue and overlooks Lake Hollingsworth on the former site of the L.N. Pipkin Bandshell. In the new $8.2 million center, athletes can now enjoy amenities such as:

  • A private athlete recovery pool
  • 5,000-sqft weight room
  • Offices for all basketball + lacrosse teams
  • Locker room for the women’s lacrosse team
  • 40-seat team film room

Historically, FSC’s athletes trained in the Gilbert Gymnasium, but with more than 200 new athletes added to the college’s roster over the last decade, the 22+ sports teams had outgrown the space. Mind if we swing by for a workout?
