Renovations began in January 2018 to repurpose the Rolfs Sports Recreation Center, which reopened in November.
The hall features nutrition space, a sports medicine facility with two in-ground hydrotherapy tubs, a large strength and conditioning center and two separate practice gyms.
“I’ve been looking forward to the opening of our practice facility since I arrived at Notre Dame, and it couldn’t have been made without the generosity and support of our alumni and so many other key donors,” said Mike Brey, Glenn and Stacey Murphy Head Men’s Basketball Coach, in a news release. “With the NCAA’s renewed focus on student-athlete time commitment, our ability to schedule practice, athletic training, rest and recovery separate from a multi-use facility that was forced to serve three programs will pay immediate dividends to the well-being of our student-athletes and coaches.”
The Rolfs Sports Recreation Center originally opened in 1998 through a donation from brothers Thomas J. and Robert T. Rolfs. Both were Notre Dame alumni.
