Walter L. Gross Jr. Family Student-Athlete Development Center

This facility, which is located between Millett Hall and Yager Stadium, caters to both the academic and physical needs of Miami's student-athletes.

The west wing of the center is devoted to academic enrichment. Featured in the academic wing are two large study areas, an informal study lounge, private tutoring offices and a computer lab. Offices for Miami's academic advisors also are located in the academic wing.

The east wing consists of a 10,000-square foot physical fitness center, which includes free and machine weights, circuit training machines, cardiovascular equipment, and speed, agility, and jump training facilities.

Separating the academic and physical fitness centers is a main lobby and reception area, which features a rotunda that dominates the reception lobby ceiling. Miami's rich athletic tradition, headlined by the "Cradle of Coaches," and a listing of Miami's All-Americans is highlighted on the rotunda, while the Miami seal is displayed on the floor.
