Numerous improvements were made in the facility to ensure that it is one of the most advanced athletic facilities in the nation. The most recent renovations to the building include a 1,200 square foot addition to house a new state of the art hydrotherapy suite which includes a Hydroworx aquatic therapy pool with underwater treadmill. The existing training room was relocated to adjoin the new hydrotherapy suite, which results in a much-needed increased size for the new training room. Supporting the training area are three staff offices, exam room, and state-of-the-art x-ray room. The new team meeting room is equipped with the latest video technology and a media backdrop for post-game press conferences. The existing football locker room was expanded and upgraded. The upgrades included new paint, carpet, ceilings, and lighting. The equipment room has been reconfigured, and a new high-density storage system was purchased to increase ca- pacity and improve efficiency in the handling of equipment. In addition to the visible improvements a new supplemental mechanical unit to control moisture and improve indoor air quality was installed, along with new HVAC controls in the entire building. With the campus fitness center relocated to the Benjamin Johnson Arena, reno- vations were also made to the second floor. A second team meeting room was created with sliding glass walls to provide flexibility for a variety of uses. A student-athlete lounge was built near the racquetball courts which includes two 70-inch monitors. The building also includes the Harley Room, a large multipurpose area overlooking Gibbs Stadium. The area hosts a wide variety of campus events during the year. On the patio, a sculpture of Jerry Richardson was dedicated on May 12, 2014 to honor him and recognize the 20th anniversary of the Carolina Panthers summer training camp being held on campus. The sculpture, created by noted California artist Todd Andrews, depicts Richardson seeming to be ready to walk over to Gibbs Stadium to watch the Terriers – for which he also played – take on the next worthy opponent.
