LSU may be setting the new standard for weight rooms.
The program is getting set to start a 2.5 million renovation to its weight room, according to The Advocate’s Ross Dellenger. That’s part of the university’s plan to upgrade the Tigers’ football operations building, which is 11 years old.
Due to the construction, the players will have to work out at a makeshift facility during the summer before the project is finished in August, maybe in time for fall camp.
Dellenger writes that Phase II of the program’s plan is expanding and renovating the team’s locker room and training room, while doing the same for the coaches’ offices on the second floor of the building’s west side.
As for the weight room, it’ll be two stories and 5,000 square feet. You’ll find more of everything: weights, racks, cardio machines, medical ball wall, 30 TVs, a new five-zone directional sound system and more.
