Athletic Training Room

Just to the west of the fitness center sits the Athletic Training room. This is the home to the athletic training staff who supervise the athletic training room on a daily basis to evaluate, treat, and rehabilitate athletes from injury. Completely remodeled in 2010, the training room features a mud room for hot and cold whirlpool therapy, new taping stations, and additional space for rehabilitation treatment. In 2019, the space was renovated to add additional office space for staffing.

The services provided by the Athletic Training staff are divided into six domains established by the National Athletic Trainers' Association: (1) illness prevention and wellness protection, (2) clinical evaluation and diagnosis, (3) immediate and emergency care, (4) treatment and rehabilitation, (5) organization, and (6) professional health and well-being.
