NORMAN – The University of Oklahoma Board of Regents approved new design modifications for the Strength Training and Performance Center Addition project at Lloyd Noble Center on Tuesday. The initial project was approved in May 2015.
The main modification to the future facility merges both the strength and performance assessment centers into one structure. Added enhancements also include a nutrition center, indoor and outdoor turfs as well as a multi-purpose space designed for performance testing and assessment.

The approximately 16,000-gross square-foot addition will be constructed south of the two existing practice facilities for the men's and women's basketball programs. The facility will help enhance strength training facilities for both basketball programs as well other Sooner student-athletes.
The estimated total cost of the project is $7 million, with funding identified, available and budgeted from private donations from OU Athletics funds.
