ORU broke ground on the Welcome Center today.....ORU's facebook has the ceremony and the chapel service from today where he announced the order the projects will be built

Wilson announced the order will be

1. Welcome Center
2. Media Arts Center (almost fully funded)
3. Library
4. Athletic Center (new addition to the plan -- announced at ORU's board meeting last night)

Any idea what an "Athletic Center" is? Is it additional training facilities? Specific to any sport?

Wilson did not gives details -- guessing administrative offices, compliance, academic center, weight room, training room, recovery pools, etc

In the article yesterday regarding the retirement of Mike Carter, it mentioned said the new athletic center will be "a part of a comprehensive retro-fitting of the Mabee Center.......contain two regulation basketball courts,....strength and conditioning space, accommodate the ELI Academic Learning Center, team meeting rooms and office space.... ." Let's hope that "comprehensive retro-fitting of the Mabee Center" also includes a renovation of the arena to bring it up to modern standards which will help tremendously in recruiting and game attendance.
