november 25, 2019 – thunder bay, ont.

阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 is embarking on a $1.8 million campaign to support the construction of the dynamic new wolf den athletics facility, a project that 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 overwhelmingly supported in a referendum in 2018.

set to open in 2020, the new 30,000 square-foot wolf den will be connected and built adjacent to the c.j. sanders fieldhouse. 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 are contributing $11 million of the $12.8 million construction cost.

august ricketts, a former varsity basketball player and current fitness enthusiast, is excited to experience the wolf den.

 “as a 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 student and former varsity athlete, i have spent quite a bit of time in our current athletics facility over the years,” ricketts said.

“i have come to understand and recognize the importance of supporting the wolf den and how beneficial it will be. the new addition will provide a modern and bright space, to not only lakehead 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 but to members of the thunder bay community as well.

“there will be more available time for 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 and community members to utilize the courts for recreational activities as well as give them increased access to more cardio and weight equipment. the addition will also give 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 another space to study comfortably and de-stress from school,” she added.

the expansion will allow lakehead to double the space dedicated to weight lifting, cardio and gym areas that the current space provides, for both 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 and community use.

the wolf den will include a multi-purpose gymnasium, modern weightlifting area, new aerobics studio, expanded club team storage and offices, new space for recreational programming, multi-use boardroom, student study areas, a lounge and meditation centre, and a wellness clinic. the new facility will also provide accessibility enhancements for users who have disabilities. additionally, the wolf den athletics facility will be designed and built with sustainability in mind.  as such, it is registered with the intention of earning leed® gold certification upon its completion.

 “this is an exciting project that we are very proud to be part of,” said farhan yousaf, lusu’s vice-president, finance and operations. “it will be a new facility for 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 , where they can study, relax and work out in one building.”

tom warden, lakehead’s director, athletics, said the space would meet the needs of lakehead’s 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 – and 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 played a role in every aspect of its creation.

“lakehead 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 have driven this new facility,” he said. “they’ve been the ones who have championed it, financed the majority of it, designed it, and developed it.

“together with the c.j. sanders fieldhouse and the hangar, the wolf den will ensure that 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 athletics continues to provide dedicated space and programming to meet the health, wellness and recreation needs of our 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 and the wider community,” warden said, adding that he hopes the public will contribute whatever they can to help make this facility a reality.

“世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 are the primary funders. as we move forward with this campaign, we hope our community members, corporate community, and friends of the university will see the value of this facility for the region and the city, and help make this project happen,” he added.
