New Fitness Center Opens
Athletic Facility Nears Completion

On Thursday, October 9, the doors opened to Blair’s new fitness center, the latest section of the school’s athletic center to be completed. A bright, airy space with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the outdoor athletic complex, the fitness center features the latest cardio equipment and weights.

The athletic section of the facility is on schedule to be completed by the end of the month. The boys’ and girls’ locker rooms opened in mid-September, and the wrestling practice room is being used daily by Blair wrestlers. The aerobics room, training room and field house will all be open by mid-October.

Meanwhile, work steadily progresses on the renovations to Walker Gymnasium as it is transformed into the new student center. Crews are installing energy-efficient windows across the front of the building and working on the interior. When complete, the student center will include a bookstore, a college counseling suite and a renovated performance gym. The student center is set to open after the first of the year.

Tours of the new facility will be available on Peddie Day, Saturday, November 8.
