OPERATIONS. franchise's facility.

The new facility is 1 50,000 square feet, which adds al-

most 60,000 square feet to previous facilities in the Jervey

Athletic Center. It includes a two-floor strength training

facility that is 14,000 square feet, among the largest dedi-

cated solely for football in the nation.

"Our program's motto since I became head coach is'AII-

\n7 said Head Coach Dabo Swinney. "This facility shows

any Clemson football player, recruit, or supporter that our

University is 'All-ln' with this program. The facility is among

the best in the nation and allows our student-athletes to

develop and become the best they can be." The equipment room was expanded to include, among other items, new offices and a new laundry room that encompasses approximately 6,000 square feet of space. The

football staff offices and meeting rooms are composed of approximately 4,000 square feet of existing space and more than 18,000 square feet of new space.

The facility includes offices for the head coach, assistant

coaches, and support staff along with position meeting rooms and a 150-seat auditorium with a sloped floor and theater seating. The training room, located on the north side of the home team's locker room, was expanded to include a hydrotherapy room, new offices, and examination rooms. The training room occupies about 6,200 square feet of space

as well. The level-three concourse was expanded with the

addition of the football offices. This space, the roof of the

new football offices, is utilized for gameday marketing

activities and to provide fans additional space to gather inside the stadium.

In 201 2, 8,000 square feet of enclosed space was added

on second level, which houses "The Paw." Former Clemson running back James Davis, the 2005 ACC Rookie-of-the-Year. stated that one of the biggest

contributing factors in deciding on Clemson was the

University's commitment to upgrading facilities. "Does Clemson want to be a championship program?" asked Davis when he was considering Clemson. "The WestZone

(initiative) showed me that it does!"

Building success requires building for success. While the

WestZone is located in Memorial Stadium, the completed project provides resources for Clemson's total sports

program, permitting all Tiger teams and athletes to compete

with the nation's best.

Moving all football operations to the WestZone has

opened up space in the Jervey and McFadden buildings for

the other 1 8 intercollegiate sports to improve their facilities

for recruiting and have more office, training, conditioning, and sports medicine space. This has greatly enhanced the

overall performance, both on and off the field, for all 19

sports. A look to Clemson's athletic history shows the importance infrastructure enhancements have on the football program. The following chart summarizes the relation-

ship.

FurmonPaladinsiprn 59 UNIVERSITY PROFILE

Furman University is the oldest, largest, and most

selective private institution of higher learning in

South Carolina. Founded in 1826 by the Baptist Con- vention of South Carolina as the Furman Academy &

Theological Institution, Furman is an independent,

co-educational liberal arts college of 2,600 students

located on a spacious 750-acre campus in Greenville. Named for Richard Furman, a prominent pastor I S UN V E R Off in Charleston, SC and a leader in Baptist higher education, the institution moved three times in its early years before being chartered as Furman University

and settling permanently in Greenville in 1850. Eight

years later, its theological department became the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, which even-

tually moved to Louisville, KY. Between 1920-32, the

university included a law school, but for most of its

history it has been a liberal arts college.

In 1 933, Furman was coordinated with the nearby Greenville Women's College, which was founded by

South Carolina Baptists in 1854 as Greenville Baptist Female College. The two schools operated under one

administration but on separate campuses in down-

town Greenville until 1 961 , when the current physical plant on the outskirts of town was completed and the two campuses were united. The university and

the South Carolina Baptist Convention severed ties in 1992.

The move to the new campus served as the cata-

lyst for Furman's ongoing transformation from a pri-

marily regional college to one of the leading liberal

arts institutions in the country. Today, Furman offers

majors and programs in 40 subjects and is in a select

group of colleges that qualifies for a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, the nation's most prestigious academic honorary society. Ninety-six percent of faculty mem-

bers hold a doctorate or the terminal degree in their

field, and the student body comes from 47 states and 47 countries.

In recent years, Furman has become an exemplar of engaged learning, a hands-on, problem-solving,

collaborative approach to the liberal arts that encourages students to put into practice the theories and

methods learned from texts and lectures. Engaged

learning emphasizes such areas as internships, service learning, study abroad, and research.
