This complex will include a 2-story athletic training facility, a covered all-sports practice pavilion with a synthetic turf football field, and a natural turf outdoor football practice field. The facility will include new day-to-day all-sport team spaces such as locker rooms, equipment room, sports medicine (including hydrotherapy and hot and cold plunges), coaches’ offices, team meeting rooms (designed to hold 150 people with tiered theatre style seating), and weight room (including cardio room and nutrition station). Specific to football, there will be ten position meeting rooms. Football locker rooms will also be state-of-the-art including a wet area with a player grooming area/barbershop and a dedicated lounge.

The facility will also include new athletic administration offices and academic space. The academic space will include a study hall area for 75-100 students, small and medium tutor rooms, a conference room, and a computer room. A focal design point will be the lobby space which will also function as a Hall of Fame space with sponsorship integration opportunities, trophy display areas, and UTSA Athletics branded graphics. This space will highlight UTSA student-athlete achievements throughout history.
