WRESTLING FACILITY
Name: New Wrestling Facility (naming rights available)
Capacity: 1,000
First Year: 2015
Address: 315 Meader Street Campbellsville, Ky. 42718
The facility, part of CU's comprehensive Vision 2025 plan, has been made a reality through multiple donations, including an anonymous lead gift. Ground broke in the summer of 2015 and construction was completed by September.Â
The 9,600-square-foot facility will feature four locker rooms, four coaches' offices and an athletic training room, in addition to the mat area.
"This new facility will be a great addition to our athletics department when completed this fall," said Hollingsworth. "Several of our other programs will also benefit from this building. Not only will it help both of our already successful wrestling programs, but it will allow us to move volleyball and cheerleading into the Gosser Gymnasium. Then we will be able to start a men's volleyball program. These moves will also help with the scheduling issues we currently have in JK Powell. So in essence this one facility will impact two more facilities and help us add a new program."
The women's wrestling program will now have its own locker room, two coaches' offices and a visitor's locker room. The men's wrestling program will also have the same amenities.
Marion Hall, CU director of special operations, contracted the building to Hilpp Construction of Lebanon, Ky. Hall has helped Campbellsville grow to now having 25 additional buildings since his arrival in 1999. He has also led major reconstruction of multiple facilities on campus.
