Creighton University Sports Performance Center

Omaha, NE

Creighton University’s “Fly Together” initiative is expanding the athletic facility footprint on campus. At the center of the new recreational and athletic corridor is the Sports Performance Center, a 50,000 square-foot facility for the University’s 300 student-athletes, coaches, and staff.

Holland Basham Architects and GLGR are working with Creighton to design the new facility that will be a game changer for student-athletes. The Sport Performance Center is dedicated to delivering academic, nutrition, and athletic training all under one roof.

The crown jewel of Creighton’s emerging Athletic Village

“The center will be a place where talent meets purpose; competition is paired with character, and every student-athlete can grow not just as an athlete, but as a person.” – Father Hendrickson
