THE HUB
A Space for Wellness, Performance, and Connection
Bringing Athletes & MUSICIANS
Together On Campus
Lawrence’s most meaningful experiences often happen beyond the classroom.
Students gather to rehearse, train, create, collaborate, recharge, and connect. The Hub brings many of those experiences together in one place, supporting wellness, artistic growth, recreation, and community throughout campus life.
By creating opportunities for students from different backgrounds and disciplines to interact, The Hub strengthens the sense of belonging that defines the Lawrence experience.

Hub Facilities
Built for Lawrentians
From athletics and music to wellness and recreation, The Hub creates flexible spaces where students can practice, train, gather, recharge, and connect. Each space is designed to support the daily experiences that help students thrive academically, artistically, physically, and personally.
01
Practice & Training Center
With the addition of a 9,000 square foot fitness center (that’s about the size of two college basketball courts!) students will have expanded access to facilities that support their overall health and wellness goals.
02
Conservatory Practice Suite
Along with a student lounge and recording studio, state-of-the-art acoustically insulated Wenger practice modules allow students to simulate a variety of performance venues with record/playback features that help them modify rehearsals in real-time.
04
Fencing Training Room
The fencing team is competing and winning against many of the nation’s top competitors all while training in a renovated racquetball court. Dedicated training space that rivals their competition will give the team a clear advantage.
05
Batting Cages
More than just a place to face off against a pitching machine, these cutting-edge batting cages will help batters assess their stance and swing, track biometrics, such as hip and shoulder rotation, and provide data-driven feedback on how to adjust mechanics, timing, and power. They will also be popular with summer youth baseball camps hosted at LU.
06
Hockey Shooting Area
Ice time on practice rinks is at a premium in the Fox Cities. With low-maintenance synthetic ice, the hockey shooting area allows players to focus on shooting, stick-handling, puck control, and shooting accuracy, helping them perfect their skills without the struggle of finding ice time.
07
Simulator Bays
Three game simulation bays give students the opportunity to connect, relax, and have fun together. With more than 50 games to choose from, students can try a variety of virtual experiences from testing their skills on a virtual golf course to surviving a zombie apocalypse. The suite also offers options to host outside parties or events centered on simulation games.
