A central hub for health and wellness on Connor Quad.

 

It is not enough for students to do well at GA. We must ensure that they thrive. While many GA facilities have undergone incredible transformation, the need was great for a space that appropriately prioritizes the physical, 社会, and mental health of the GA community.

Community Health & Wellness Center

The centrally located Health & Wellness Center has become a campus hub. This two-level structure, spanning more than 25,000 sq feet, represents GA’s commitment to prioritizing the vital connection between a healthy mind and healthy body. The new Health & Wellness Center is home to the Jordan Center (fitness and strength training facility), the Health Services Suite, the Athletics Department, two multipurpose wellness rooms, the updated and expanded Hall of Athletic Achievement, and the Patriot Café.

The new center provides 625% more health and wellness space for our community—increasing from 3,995 to 25,000 square feet.
