Athletic-Recreation Complex Project

The $30 million Athletic and Recreation Complex Rejuvenation and Addition is a transformational, multi-phased construction project that will be incredibly impactful on Wayne State’s intercollegiate athletics, student recreation, student-wide wellness programs, and overall community and regional use. The project will include a new air-supported structure with an indoor track and turf field and renovations to Rice Auditorium, the Rec Center, and the current Kirk Gardner Indoor Athletic Complex.

The athletic project's historic improvements will be critical in our ability to continue to recruit and retain students by providing an exceptional overall student engagement experience. The Wayne State Foundation has begun raising funds towards the $5.5 million of fundraised dollars needed to complete the project. Read more HERE.
