HIRAM, Ohio – February 8, 2024 – Hiram College Athletics finished up its renovations to the Steve Belichick Olympic Training Center and officially reopened the facility to Hiram students, faculty and staff this past month.
The transformation, made possible thanks to the generosity of Kathy Coleman, includes the following upgrades:
- New rubber flooring, which replaces the previous carpeted surface and allows for power lifting
- Hiram Athletics logos on the floor in front of each squat rack and Hiram branding throughout the facility
- Repainted walls and pillars
- Future addition: Hiram All-American Wall to highlight the most accomplished athletes in school history
- Future addition: "Ring The Bell!" and other inspirational quotes to be displayed
Student-athletes helped return the weight room equipment -- which was temporarily placed in Martin Fieldhouse --Â after the renovations. Hiram College would again like to thank Kathy Coleman and all Terriers student-athletes for making this vision a reality.
