FACILITIES

WHERE WE ARE … Duquesne University’s commitment to athletics is evident in a $2 million renovation of the Palumbo Center completed last spring. The renovation - designed to benefit all DU student-athletes - features a state-of-the-art athletic training/rehabilitation facility, a new student-athlete recruitment center, meeting, film viewing and editing suites, administrative offices as well as the expansion and enhancement of a student-athlete only weight training area.

“This phase of Palumbo Center renovation provides our coaches and stu- dent-athletes with the tools to help them compete at a higher level. The improvements were designed to help all of our programs gain a competi- tive edge as our department continues to move forward.” — Greg Amodio, Director of Athletics

WHERE WE’RE GOING … With enrollment continuing to grow and general interest in health and wellness increas- ing, University President Dr. Charles Dougherty made a bold move to expand the University by acquiring several blocks of Forbes Avenue for construction of a 125,000- square-foot multi-purpose recreation center.

By the end of 2007, the recreational center is expected to open its doors and will boast mod- ern cardio-fitness exercise equipment, basketball and racquetball courts, locker rooms, exer- cise and dance studios, athletics offices and new classrooms. In the first phase, this multi- purpose center will also house a window-filled conference space with a ballroom, kitchen and roof-top deck, Barnes and Noble Booksellers, Starbucks and other retail shopping.

“The expansion plans give Duquesne University the ability to continue to grow, to contribute to the development of our Uptown neighborhood and to improve the appearance of our front door on Forbes Avenue.” —Dr. Charles Dougherty, Duquesne University president

She will be challenge by new- comer Chelsea Tillotson who was an all-country and all-district pick as a prep.
