FAACILITIESCILITIES

DONAHUE ROWING CENTER

The Donahue Rowing Center opened in 1992 as a center for rowing activities. It is located at the north end of Lake Quin- sigamond in Shrewsbury, Mass. The center was constructed with a combination of a grant from the Massachusetts Offi ce of Environmental Affairs and private contributions, most notable of which was that of the Irving James Donahue, Jr. family for approximately 20 percent of the $1.1 million project cost. In 2002 the center was expanded by 4 bays thanks to a generous donation from the Donahue family and the cooperation of the Alumni Association. It is the home to a number of schools and the Quinsigamond Rowing Association. The bays in this state of the art facility allow for the housing of more than 150 boats, plus oars and other equipment. LAKE QUINSIGAMOND

Competitive rowing teams fi rst came to Lake Quinsigamond in 1857. Finding the lake ideal for such crew meets, avid rowers established boating clubs on the lake’s shores, the fi rst being the Quin- sigamond Boating Club. In 1952, the lake played host to the National Olympic rowing trials. Lake Quinsigamond is currently considered the fourth best natural body of water for rowing in the world. The lake has played host other national regattas such as the U.S. Nationals in 1979 and the U.S. Masters Nationals in 2005. At least six championship regat- tas are held on the lake each year including the Big East Championship, Patriot League Championship, New England Fours Regatta, New England Rowing Championship, Men’s Eastern Sprints Regatta and New England Interscholastic Rowing Association Regatta.

HART RECREATION CENTER

The men’s and women’s rowing teams take advantage of the facilities at the Hart Recreation Center for indoor practice and conditioning. The Hart Center houses the Carol and Park B. Smith Wellness Center - a state of the art training facil- ity designed for use by Crusader varsity athletes and the Holy Cross community in general. The Hart Center also contains a set of crew tanks for offseason and poor weather training. 5 22009-2010009-2010 HOOLYLY CRROSSOSS ROOWINGWING

Holy Cross is renowned for its academic excellence and men- toring-based, liberal arts education in the Jesuit tradition. An ex- clusively undergraduate institution with just over 2,800 students, Holy Cross is the oldest Catholic college in New England. Founded in 1843 in Worcester, Mass., the campus occupies 174 beautifully landscaped acres, featuring traditional and contemporary architec- ture, state-of-the-art facilities, and striking views from atop Mount St. James. Academic life at Holy Cross is serious, challenging and excit- ing. Student-professor exchanges in the classroom, as well as in countless informal settings, are at the center of academic life at Holy Cross. With a student to faculty ratio of 10 to one, the op- portunity for individual attention is readily available. Few classes exceed an enrollment of 40, and most average 19 students. Holy Cross professors are widely respected in their academic specialties. Many have national reputations for their research and publications, creative performances, recordings and exhibitions. Almost all of the approximately 300 full- and part-time faculty

members hold doctoral degrees from some of the fi nest universi- ties here and abroad. Among the major academic facilities on campus are Dinand Library (which, along with three other specialized libraries on cam- pus, has total holdings of more than 650,000 volumes); Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Art Gallery (with a regular schedule of world-class exhibitions); Brooks Concert Hall (acclaimed by performers and acoustical experts as one of the fi nest medium-sized performance spaces in the region); St. Joseph Memorial Chapel (built in 1924 and containing the recently renovated McCooey Chapel on the lower level); Hogan Campus Center (with bookstore, post offi ce, coffee lounge, cafeteria and pub); Carol and Park B. Smith Hall (housing the Center for Religion, Ethics and Culture and the Rehm Library); the Multimedia Resource Center in Edith Stein Hall; and the science complex in Haberlin, O’Neil and Swords Halls. Coeducational since 1972, Holy Cross enrolls a student body of proven accomplishment. Almost all graduated in the top 20 per- cent of their high school classes. Most live in 10 residence halls 4411 22009-2010009-2010 HOOLYLY CRROSSOSS ROOWINGWING

Opened in 1997, the Carol and Park B. Smith Wellness Center is a two-story facility which was built as an addition to the Hart Recreation Center. The wellness center provides state-of-the-art fi tness equipment for varsity athletes and all other members of the Holy Cross community. A $1.5-million gift from Carol and Park B. Smith (Class of 1954) kicked off the campaign to fund the facility. “Everyone to- day agrees that fi tness is very important,” Smith said in 1997. “I’m confi dent that this new Wellness Center — whose facilities will be second-to-none — will provide a real benefi t to current and future Holy Cross students, teachers and staff.” With 15,000 square feet, the wellness center provides over four times more space than the college previously had for varsity and com- munity exercise and training, and centralizes athletic equipment and facilities once found in fi ve locations in three campus buildings. On the fi rst level, the center houses a highly versatile strength and conditioning center for Holy Cross’ varsity student-athletes. There are areas for speed development programs, as well as for strength and endurance conditioning.

The wellness center has been a huge boon to our program.” With 6,500 square feet of the center devoted solely to varsity ath- letes, Oliver and his staff to are able to accommodate a much larger number of athletes at one time, allowing teams to train together at times more convenient to their busy schedules as student-athletes. The state-of-the-art equipment in the wellness center in- cludes: • Eight multi-purpose power racks, each with over 600 pounds of free weights. • Seven Olympic lifting platforms with over 375 pounds of rubber- ized free weights. • More than 3,000 pounds of dumbbells. • Eighteen pieces of aerobic equipment. • Three full sets of plyometric boxes. • A number of free weight-loaded pieces of equipment to accom- modate injured athletes. “Thanks to the generous donation from the Smiths,” Oliver said, “This facility is state of the art.” 4488 22009-2010009-2010 HOOLYLY CRROSSOSS ROOWINGWING

Worcester, the economic and social center of central Massa- chusetts, is New England’s third-largest city with a population of 175,500. Holy Cross is one of the area’s 13 colleges and universities, which together make an enormous impact on the area’s culture and economy. Boston, Springfi eld, Hartford and Providence are all about a one-hour drive. New York City is about three hours away; Cape Cod and the Atlantic Ocean are less then two hours from Worcester; and the mountains of Vermont and New Hampshire can be reached in about three hours. Skiing is available at nearby Wachusett Mountain, and water sports enthusiasts can enjoy the hundreds of rivers and lakes in the area, including Lake Quinsigamond. First incorporated as a township in 1722, this settlement 40 miles west of Boston soon became an important transportation center on the Boston Turnpike, linking the capital city with New York and the west. One of America’s fi rst internal commercial waterways, the Blackstone Canal, linked the town with Providence to the south and gave direct access to the Atlantic Ocean. Primarily an industrial city through the mid-20th century, Worcester has emerged as an educational, medical, health care, cultural and entertainment center. An expanded business and com- mercial base, and the recent addition of a variety of high-technology

companies and growing biotechnology research parks, have made Worcester attractive to expanding companies. Downtown Worcester stands on the brink of a dramatic renaissance with a new hotel at- tached to the convention center, a new courthouse and major housing and retail projects all in the works. Worcester is nonetheless predominantly residential in character. More than 1,200 acres of city-owned parkland are found within its 38 square miles. Half of the entire city budget goes for educational purposes, testimony to the values of its inhabitants. Its parklands are among the oldest in the nation, as are its library and music festival. Worcester is a city proud of its past and secure in its future. Worcester is home to the DCU Center, a 13,000-seat arena that features big-name rock bands; Mechanics Hall, a world renowned venue for opera, jazz, blues and classical concerts; and the Worces- ter Art Museum, internationally known as one of the fi nest small museums in the United States. Other museums include the Higgins Armory Museum, a repository of Medieval arms and armor; the Ecotarium, which combines the features of a science museum, a planetarium and a zoo; the headquarters of the American Antiquarian Society; and the Worcester Historical Museum. After a $40 million restoration project, the historic Union Sta- tion now serves visitors and commuters via MBTA regional service and Amtrak national service. Worcester has world-class dining, ethnic restaurants, diners, coffee houses, bookstores, shopping, parks and recreation — all within easy reach of campus. 4499 22009-2010009-2010 HOOLYLY CRROSSOSS ROOWINGWING
