Hecht Athletic Center Enhancement Project

hecht-1-150.jpg

At the core of every successful athletic program lies the ability to effectively prepare and train. With the completion of the Hecht Athletic Center Enhancement Project in August 2001, University of Miami student-athletes have been provided with one of the finest athletic training facilities in the nation.

The effect the Hecht Athletic Center Enhancement Project has had on Miami’s student-athletes has been remarkable. Since its completion in August 2001, it has provided current Miami student-athletes with a state-of-the-art facility to train in, and has functioned as an invaluable recruiting tool to attract potential student-athletes. That being said, the construction and renovation work that has been done would not have been possible without the generosity of many project donors. This $8 million complex is still in need of your financial support. There are 5 different Donor Levels for this project as well as several naming opportunities throughout the building.
