The Athletics and Wellness Center, which opened during the fall of 1999, focuses on the promotion of recreation and good health for the greater Richmond area, as well as the campus community.
The facility features an indoor running track, a cardio and strength training room, a group fitness studio, an indoor climbing wall, four indoor tennis courts, two racquetball courts, a six-lane 25 meter pool, and a performance gymnasium with seating for 1,800 which hosts the Earlham volleyball and basketball games. All athletes use the facility for pre-season and out of season training.
All of Trueblood Fieldhouse’s 70,000 square feet (built in 1923) was renovated and 40,000 square feet of classrooms and offices were added to complete the Athletics and Wellness Center project. There are three varsity locker rooms with 30 lockers, two varsity locker rooms with 18, two locker rooms for visiting teams (24), two locker rooms for officials (4) along with male and female public locker rooms for general use. Varsity locker rooms are rotated by season.
The athletic training room is used by all of Earlham’s varsity athletes. State-of-the-art equipment fills the 2,300 square foot space. There are also two athletic trainer offices, an exam room, whirlpool room and an ice/storage room.
