Revamped IM fitness center opens
After about a year of construction, IM Sports-West opened the doors to a brand new $5.5 million fitness and exercise area this summer. The room is 12,000 square feet and features more than 180 new weight and cardiovascular machines for students, faculty, staff and alumni to use. Weight machines are positioned on the large first floor, and cardiovascular machines are on the second balcony level - a far cry from the small fitness room with dated machines IM Sports-West used to have.

Among the new equipment are 24 elliptical running machines and 24 treadmills, and each machine features a personal TV screen.
