Northwest Nazarene University is excited to announce the groundbreaking of the Rob Roberts Training Facility, a major new addition to campus that will enhance the student-athlete and student life experience. The ceremony will take place on Tuesday, June 11, 2:00 p.m., at 313 E. Dewey Ave, behind the Johnson Sports Center (JSC). All are invited to attend.
The new 22,000-square-foot facility will provide additional indoor practice space for NNU’s baseball, softball and golf programs, while also opening up the JSC Fieldhouse for broader campus use. This increase in space will benefit all students, creating more opportunities for recreation and wellness, part of NNU’s commitment to transforming the whole student through a healthy and balanced lifestyle. The building will include one of the top collegiate golf training centers in the Northwest and will be the largest facility of its kind in Idaho.
“This project is about more than athletics,” said Paul Rush, NNU Director of Athletics. “The Rob Roberts Training Facility will expand our ability to serve student-athletes with excellence while simultaneously creating new opportunities for student life, recreation and wellness. It’s a transformational space that will elevate the NNU experience for everyone.”
The facility is named in honor of Rob Roberts, owner of R&M Steel, who generously donated the steel for the project. All are welcome to join us as we celebrate this exciting milestone.
