Athletic Facilities Improvements

Gymnasium – $1,000,000

Project Overview

To construct a two story addition to the Montini Catholic Gymnasium. The addition would connect to the northeast end of the gymnasium. The first floor would provide a 60 ft X 42 ft space (2,520 square feet) for a student physical fitness center. The second floor would provide a 68 ft X 50 ft space (3,400 square feet) for a dance/multi use center. The present fitness center in the balcony of the gymnasium will be used to provide additional training area for the wrestling team and to create a multi-purpose room that would be used for team meetings and would be used for alumni and grade school student activities before and during basketball, wrestling and volleyball games as well as for dance and cheerleading.

Student Fitness Center

The student physical fitness center would be divided into three sections – cardiovascular fitness section, circuit training section and a free weight training section. The fitness center would be designed to provide and equipment and space for individual students to work out at the same time as sport teams are involved in weight training.
