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.

Take a Pictorial Tour of the new athletic facilities at the Hecht Athletic Center.

"It's great to contribute to a project that will provide the University of Miami student-athletes with a first class facility in which to train, and also serve as an attractive place for recruits. A facility such as this really sells itself if you look at the past discrepancy between Miami and other Big East schools in the area of athletic facilities."
- Scott Ridge (Donor to the Hecht Athletic Center Enhancement Project)

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 in which to train, 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. With approximately $4 million in pledges raised to date, 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.

"A great facility shows a great commitment to your program. With this new facility we are able to show our current, as well as prospective, student-athletes that the University of Miami is committed to its football program and to national prominence."
- Larry Coker (Head Football Coach, University of Miami)
