The renderings include a partial second story to be added, which will allow for an expanded team locker room, offices for the coaching staff, a lounge and balcony. Other key amenities that will be vital for the needs of current and future gymnasts include improvements to the athletic training and rehabilitation area. The $4.6 million project is expected to be completed in December of 2022.
"It is extremely gratifying to receive the type of donor support needed to undertake a project of this magnitude," said Director of Athletics Mark Harlan. "Expanding the Dumke Gymnastics Center will keep our national championship-contending program at the forefront of the sport, and continue to attract the type of world-class student-athletes who have elevated this storied program to the position it is in today. This expansion will upgrade what is already one of the most impressive facilities in the nation, and further solidify our commitment to providing our student-athletes with the best possible environment to train and develop their talents. We're grateful for the generous donors who have made this possible."
The Dumke Gymnastics Center, which opened in 1999, is home to the nation's only gymnastics program to compete in all 45 national championships. Utah Gymnastics boasts 10 national championships in program history, 22 NCAA Super Six/Final Four appearances, four Pac-12 Championships and the largest fan base in all of college women's sports.
"We are so excited to break ground on this project and are beyond thankful for the support our program has received during this process," said Utah gymnastics head coach Tom Farden. "Without our fans and donors, this program can only do so much. It takes a whole community to succeed and the outpouring of support from our donors has been incredible. We cannot wait to get started with this project and take another significant step forward as a program."
"These improvements to our training facility are essential," said Farden on the expansion. "Upgrading the Dumke will attract the best of the best to our program and will provide each student-athlete with the finest experience possible during their time as a Red Rock."
Fans can get a first look at the 2022 Red Rocks at the annual Red Rocks Preview on Friday, Dec. 17 at 7 p.m. MT inside the Jon M. Huntsman Center. Utah gymnastics will officially begin its 2022 season at the Rio Tinto Best of Utah NCAA Gymnastics Meet on Friday, Jan. 7. The Utes return all but one routine from last year's team that earned a third-place finish at the 2021 NCAA Championships, second-straight Pac-12 Regular Season Championship, fourth Pac-12 Championship and an NCAA Regional title.
