Level Up
A bold new project to support student health, wellness, and performance – two transformative facilities for every Lawrentian.
The Challenge
Practice Space Pinch
Lawrence University students need well-equipped facilities to achieve their best. Conservatory students need more rehearsal spaces for individuals and small ensembles to hone their musicianship. Likewise, growth of Vikings Athletics has intensified the need for team training spaces. The overutilized Buchanan Kiewit Wellness Center struggles to accommodate the demand for training space while still providing the health and fitness programming desired by the broader campus community.
The Solution
Level Up
Lawrence University is ready to Level Up campus health, wellness, and performance to meet the most pressing needs for rehearsal and practice spaces through the expansion of its indoor fitness and recreation spaces. Two new facilities – The Hub and The Loop – broaden opportunities for students to develop their skills and add spaces that nurture growth, creativity, and connection.
Two spaces, one solution.

Hear from Lawrentians
"The simulator bays are something I never expected at a small liberal arts school. It brings people together in a totally new way."
Joey McDonald Student Athlete
"Every musician needs a place of their own to practice without limits. The Wenger suites will be a game-changer for how we prepare and perform."
Korey Krueger Conservatory Student
"Training on an outdoor track in a Wisconsin winter is brutal. An indoor track changes everything - we can finally compete at the level we know we can reach."
