Ann Arbor — Michigan football and basketball have their own facilities with top-notch training equipment and locker rooms, and now athletes involved in rowing, track and field and lacrosse have access to a state-of-the art, all-encompassing facility.
Reporters toured the 280,000-square-foot South campus Performance Center, which was unveiled late last November to student-athletes, on Tuesday. It is in the same complex as the varsity tennis center and gymnastics and wrestling facilities.
Among the highlights, a massive indoor track and field with a hydraulic track, indoor rowing tanks and a 2,000-seat lacrosse stadium. The $168-million project was privately funded, including a $100 million gift from Stephen Ross.
