Hillsdale College George Roche Sports Complex


 

THE SPLEX

First renovated and dedicated in 1988, the George Roche Sports Complex was originally the university fieldhouse which was built in 1927. In 2013, Weigand renovated the sports facility once again as a part of Hillsdale’s effort to increase capacity, improve student access, and update the environment.  
 

RENOVATION FEATURES

This restoration, spanning 61,000 square feet, made several additions such as: 

  • Student Fitness Center 
  • Full Range of Cardio Machines 
  • Open Exercise Areas 
  • Smoothie and Snack Bar 
  • Golf-Simulator Room 
  • Rock Climbing Wall 
  • More Office Space for Men’s and Women’s Sports 
  • Extra Locker Rooms for Men’s and Women’s Sports 
  • Sports Hall of Fame 
  • Basketball Arena 
  • Basketball and Volleyball Courts 

 

BENEFITTING THE STUDENT BODY

Up until renovations were completed, the college was limited in its space offerings, especially when it came to intramural and fitness activity. By creating more room for both groups to have a place to participate, active students outside of the athletics program are now able to connect and build community in a building that facilitates spaces for their special interests.  

The renovation project also brought a full basketball arena to the complex, with generous seating for spectators on multiple levels along all four walls. This has greatly improved the gameday experience for fans and allows more people to attend sporting events.  

Weigand is proud to have served Hillsdale College and its students through this restoration project and hopes the George Roche Sports Complex continues to deliver wonderful experiences for fans, fitness enthusiasts, athletes, and more for years to come.
