Ericksen Center
The Ericksen Center houses a gymnasium with a regulation basketball court and bleacher seating for more than 1,200 surrounded by an elevated jogging surface. With bleachers retracted, the gymnasium converts into two sections, each containing a full-size basketball practice court. This modern facility contains an athletic training room, fitness center, locker rooms, classrooms, multipurpose video room, faculty/athletic department offices. Recent renovations also added a golf training facility (2021), which includes three training bays and Foresight Sports launch monitors, featuring PGA-grade technology, and a Dave Pelz GreenMaker™ putting green system.
