CENTENNIAL CENTER COMPLEX

This 97,000 square-foot multi-purpose facility opened in October 1989, and was constructed to enhance educational opportunities through facilitating comprehensive health, physical education, and intercollegiate athletic programs, and after meeting these needs, to provide special services to the remaining university family and its community. The later addition of a swimming pool and bathhouse facility and six lighted tennis courts make the complex one of the most appealing and highly-used facilities on the campus.
