Davidson College – New Athletic Center

New Athletic Center

We invite you to join in the excitement as we plan for a year of growth and progress for Davidson Athletics—construction of a new $15 million athletic center adjoining Baker Sports Complex.

To date, more than $4 million has been raised toward funding the $15 million center. Your support will help make this dream a reality for Davidson.

New Athletic Center

Davidson’s vibrant athletics community and unwavering commitment to support 21 Division I programs presents immediate cause for a facility of this nature.

The new athletic center will have a direct impact on the Davidson student experience with increased access to practice, training, and wellness facilities.

Davidson’s new academic Dance Program continues to grow with two studio-based classes offered currently and a third proposed for spring. The new Cheryle Williamson Center for Dance will support our heavily subscribed academic and extracurricular dance activities.

From the President

Davidson offers an extraordinary experience that enables talented young people to build bridges between how they learn and how they live. For 25 percent of our students, this experience includes athletics at the highest level of intercollegiate competition. These gifted student athletes consistently exemplify self-discipline, resilience, teamwork, and a commitment to excellence. Our new athletic center addresses their needs, showcases our nationally prominent basketball programs, and creates much needed facilities for dance and wellness that will serve the entire student body and broader campus community. — Carol Quillen

What Students Are Saying

Women’s Basketball Player
Miami, Florida

Freedom to have our own space! We share one court with three sports and it can be crowded. The new facility will make it easier to have practice when we need to have it so athletes aren’t missing dinner or having to practice on the upper courts.

Davidson is unique in its ability to foster student growth in fields they would not otherwise consider. My continued involvement in Dance Ensemble and Gamut Dance Company are a product of that character. The facility embraces this idea.

Dance
Bronx, New York

A space uniquely designed for dancers to choreograph, practice, and to enjoy their art is necessary at Davidson. Dance is very physical and requires room to practice and perform and mirrors to visualize these movements.
