The renovated Myklebust Gymnasium features a gym; fitness center; classroom space for dance, yoga, health and continuing education classes; community spaces; coaching offices, locker rooms, a study lounge and a juice bar.
Students led the effort to renovate the Gym & Fitness Center through a fee of $2.50 per credit in tuition. The project was completed in 2014. It supports the current and future instructional needs of the college, brings the entire facility into ADA compliance, and doubles the space available for athletic activities, health-related classes and activities and other uses.
