onward Lawrentians
Level Up
A bold new project to support student health, wellness, and performance – two transformative facilities for every Lawrentian.
The Challenge
Practice Space Pinch
Lawrence University students need well-equipped facilities to achieve their best. Conservatory students need more rehearsal spaces for individuals and small ensembles to hone their musicianship. Likewise, growth of Vikings Athletics has intensified the need for team training spaces. The overutilized Buchanan Kiewit Wellness Center struggles to accommodate the demand for training space while still providing the health and fitness programming desired by the broader campus community.
The Solution
Level Up
Lawrence University is ready to Level Up campus health, wellness, and performance to meet the most pressing needs for rehearsal and practice spaces through the expansion of its indoor fitness and recreation spaces. Two new facilities – The Hub and The Loop – broaden opportunities for students to develop their skills and add spaces that nurture growth, creativity, and connection.
Two spaces, one solution.
The Hub. The Loop. Level Up.
The Level Up project features two new facilities: The Loop, an indoor training center, and The Hub, a centrally located fitness, recreation, and practice facility complete with a state-of-the-art music rehearsal suite.
