University of Michigan  Schembechler Hall Football Performance Center

Project overview

The renovation and expansion of Schembechler Hall transformed the University of Michigan Football Performance Center into a comprehensive, high-performance training environment. The project introduced a 33,000-square-foot strength and conditioning facility featuring a state-of-the-art weight room and plyometric training hill, alongside upgraded sports medicine and recovery spaces. New hydrotherapy and cryotherapy areas support athlete wellness, while an integrated nutrition zone, expanded equipment areas, and modernized team meeting and position rooms enhance daily operations. Together, the improvements create a holistic performance hub designed to support training, recovery, and collaboration at the highest collegiate level.
