MeyerAnnexMeyer Strength & Conditioning Annex

The Wartburg Athletics Meyer Strength & Conditioning Annex project was officially completed in April of 2021.

It offers a larger footprint to a growing intercollegiate athletics program and allow for integration with student-faculty research opportunities in exercise science.

The two-story addition replaces the 3,500-square-foot Canfield Strength & Conditioning Room, and is roughly 25 percent larger and features 17 weight platforms, allowing two teams to utilize the space at one time.

A Wartburg Fund the Fortress fundraiser helped the project outfit each weight platform with the EliteForm motion tracking system, normally seen in Division I and professional sports programs. Wartburg is the only Division III team to use EliteForm throughout its weight room.
