Alabama’s weight room will be displaying a new name going forward.
The Bill Battle Athletic Performance Center was unveiled late Wednesday afternoon in an outdoor ceremony complete with ribbon cutting.
The newly crowned Bill Battle Athletic Performance Center, formerly known as the Alabama Strength and Conditioning Complex, was first opened in 2013, serving all 17 of Alabama’s programs in the 37,000 square-foot space.
“It was intriguing to me to have a building named next to Mal’s (Moore) building,” said Battle. “I thought that was a pretty cool thing, so that’s what we decided to do. When I was in school here, there wasn’t a brick on this whole area.
