Rose-Hulman Planning Sports and Recreation Center Expansion

  

SYNTHETIC FOOTBALL TURF FIELD

The Varsity R Club provided financial support for the new synthetic turf football field which was installed prior to the 2019 season.

     
 

GOLF SIMULATOR AND INDOOR PRACTICE FACILITY

The Varsity R Club provided financial support for the new indoor golf practice facility which includes several top-of-the-line pieces of technology. The Trackman 4 is by far the most powerful and accurate launch monitor on the market with an accuracy tolerance of 1 foot for every 100 yards. The SkyTrak is another real-time personal launch monitor that gives immediate and accurate feedback on ball flight. Additionally, the facility includes 750 square feet of indoor putting greens to allow for practice from all distances and undulations.

     

WEIGHT ROOM RENOVATIONS

The Varsity R Club provided financial support for the renovations to the weight room in the Sports and Recreation Center. All the Fightin’ Engineers athletic programs strive to maximize their sports performance. The strength and conditioning facilities on campus, located in the Sports and Recreation Center (SRC), play a major role in our athlete’s success. There are two areas used by our programs, the weight training and cardio rooms. These two areas have recently been upgraded and updated to keep pace with the changes seen in the strength and conditioning landscape. 

Upon entering the weight room, one would immediately see the attention to detail. Not only will you see the Fightin’ Engineers logo in the rubber flooring, it is also displayed on the platforms and benches and engraved on the power racks. The Olympic and bumper plates and dumbbells all have the same attention to detail. The weight room also houses a rig system with training rope and rope pull attachments. 

The cardio room houses a full array of cardio equipment. This includes treadmills, upright and recumbent bikes, elliptical trainers, stair climbers, and even a step mill. All equipment is equipped to watch and listen to tv, whether on the attached tvs or via the tvs hanging on along the wall. In addition, the cardio room also has a 14 piece selectorized weight training circuit. 

     

HULBERT ARENA SCORERS TABLE

The Varsity R Club provided financial support for the new video scorers table at Hulbert Arena that can be used for men's and women's basketball as well as volleyball.

     

SOCCER GOALS

The Varsity R Club provided financial support for the new soccer goals at the Rose-Hulman Soccer Field.
 

TRAINER TENTS

The Varsity R Club provided financial support for the new trainer tents for the football team at Cook Stadium. These trainer tents will allow players to be checked out by the trainers in a private, secluded area right next to the field.


 

SOFTBALL PITCHING MACHINE

The Varsity R Club provided financial support for the new softball pitching machine. The machine allows softball players a real-time experience of hitting multiple different pitches at different speeds to continue to improve the team's offensive prowess.
