Renderings of Athletics Performance Center and Kalamazoo Events Center Released

It is our goal to compete for championships and lead the country in the holistic development of our athletes and this project is an important step in that direction.  With cutting-edge developmental facilities, state of the art training and recovery technology and innovative creative resources, the Athletics Performance Center and Kalamazoo Event Center is more than just a competition facility.  This space also propels our facility master plan and frees up programming in existing facilities that currently house so many of our varsity programs. 
 

We're excited about the future of this project and honored to collaborate with stakeholders committed to ensuring the arena and event center benefits the entire Kalamazoo community. Together, we look forward to creating a space that not only houses national championship programs but also becomes a source of pride and shared enjoyment for the community we call home." 

  

"An opportunity like this, to offer our student-athletes a facility that maximizes their training, practice, and competition experiences, is crucial. It not only enhances our overall student-athlete experience but also positions us to recruit elite talent, propelling us towards our goal of winning championships. The prospect of having a competitive arena that puts us ahead of our competition is truly exciting and aligns perfectly with the needs of our fans, students, and, most importantly our student-athletes." 

 

"The new Athletics Performance Center and Kalamazoo Event Center will enhance our approach to training and performance. This cutting-edge facility will be one of the best in the country providing our student-athletes with elite level resources creating a first-class experience. This space will be equipped with the most modern technology and top-tier equipment. The impact of this facility will help elevate our program in ways of recruiting and student-athlete development, allowing us to continue to compete at the highest level, consistently striving for championships. Our new facility is a monumental step forward and will have significant impact not only on our program and University, but the entire Kalamazoo community." 

 

"Our student-athletes are the lifeblood of our program, and the prospect of recruiting them to an elite facility which will provide ample space for their training and holistic development, is truly exciting. Knowing they will compete in a first-class arena surrounded by a supportive community is not only energizing but also signifies a game-changing opportunity for our program. The new Athletic Performance Center and Events Center is more than a facility; it is a transformative force that promises to elevate the experience for our athletes and shape the future success of our women's basketball program." 

 

"We want to thank the architects and members of the development committee who took time to meet with us last fall. The opportunity to share our ideas about what makes cheering on the Broncos special and the unique essence of being a Lawson Lunatic was invaluable. Immersing them in the exhilarating experience of a game, showcasing the passion and spirit of the Lawson Lunatics, allowed us to convey what truly sets us apart. We are genuinely excited about the ideas they have brought to the table and are confident that the future home for our Broncos will not only be the best arena but also provide our teams with a distinct competitive advantage. Together, we look forward to creating a space that embodies the spirit and energy of the Lawson Lunatics, ensuring it becomes a true home for our beloved Broncos."
