Louis And Mildred Lasch Football Building
Louis And Mildred Lasch Football Building at Penn State.
The Louis and Mildred Lasch football building is located just a short walk from Beaver Stadium. The 89,000-square-foot building is comparable to professional athletic facilities. Housed within the Lasch building is the newly renovated 13,000-square-foot weight room, massive locker room, athletic training facilities, whirlpool therapy, meeting rooms, video production suite, coaches and staff offices, well-appointed players' lounge, and the academic support center and computer room.
This project involved the renovation of the weight room in the Louis and Mildred Lasch Football Building at Penn State University. The weight room renovation encompassed over 13,000 square feet and included the installation of 25 platforms with REGUPOL crash.The new weight room features REGUPOL aktivpro roll high-performance rubber flooring and REGUPOL crash, providing a durable and safe surface for the athletes. The upgraded facility is comparable to professional athletic facilities and is expected to help Penn State recruit and retain top talent.
This project not only modernizes the weight room but also aligns with Penn State’s commitment to providing athletes with state-of-the-art resources. The REGUPOL crash and aktivpro roll flooring minimize impact and reduce wear and tear on athletes' joints, helping prevent injuries and support intense training regimens. The indoor training turf introduces a versatile element, suitable for agility drills, conditioning exercises, and sport-specific training, regardless of weather conditions.
“New equipment, expansion; we’ll have turf in there, so we won’t have to come outside. We can do everything inside, like on a rainy day. Everything will be in there that we need.”
- Penn State WR Harrison Wallace III.
