HICKEY GYMNASTICS CENTER The expansion of the Activities & Recreation Center (ARC) allowed women’s gymnas- tics to move its practice center from the snug confines of the Pavilion concourse to the more spacious location in the former Lower Hickey Gym.
The training center features a foam pit for soft landings, almost twice the stations for each event as the old Pavilion location, and indirect lighting that is more conducive for gymnastics. It nearly doubles the size of the team’s previous practice facility.
