Champions Hall is a new 135,000-square-foot facility at Centre College devoted to wellness and athletic excellence that opened in February 2024. It benefits the entire campus community and sets a new standard for holistic education at top-ranked residential liberal arts colleges across the nation.
Key components of Champions Hall include:
-
A 10-lane, 50-meter pool with a moveable bulkhead, an integrated diving well with 1-meter and 3-meter diving boards, and seating for 700
