Wisconsin-Whitewater is a Division III football powerhouse, and thanks to a new performance center, their facilities are now going to look the part as well.
A release from the University notes that the "project is a comprehensive renovation of the Perkins Stadium service building that will fulfill the needs of today's student-athlete and help carry Warhawk Football into the next era." The current facility is about 40 years old and has not undergone any significant renovations or additions.
Areas that the new facility will vastly improve upon include things as simple as air conditioning, and stretch all the way into treatment and rehab space for injuries and ventilation for the locker room.
Speaking of the locker room, that's one thing that's being added, and done right. The brand new locker room will be significantly bigger and more functional and it will also serve the dual purpose of giving the football team more meeting space while also being a great tool for the staff in recruiting. A hydrotherapy room to help in the recovery of injuries is also being added.
The additions assure Whitewater that they will have the facilities to continue to compete with the finest Division III athletics programs for the long haul. Dating back to 2005, Whitewater has failed to reach the national title game in football only twice (2015 and 2012). And football is just the tip of the iceberg, as the Warhawks athletics program have a number of other programs that compete for the national title year after year.
Take a look at some of the renderings below, along with a tweet from assistant coach Peter Kishline.
