The Huskies Den and Recreation Center

By now it’s no secret, the Huskies are in town! This year has been a great year for our athletics program. Our soccer program made great progress, with our men’s team having a 6-2 season and beating SUNY Adirondack at home and away (I officially call them our rivals!). Our volleyball team had a great year and made improvements over last year. Our basketball teams are off to a wonderful start and they get a newly remodeled home!  With that being said, we’d like to share some big news about The Huskies Den and Recreation Center. Many have asked what are going to do with the kitchen, dining room, and gym once we complete the master plan. Originally the master plan called for tearing down the current field house. However, the Lord has provided in an incredible way and we have all the funds to keep the current gymnasium and major sections of the rest of the building. Here is what is happening and has happened already!

We have torn down the old kitchen section. The dining room will be a new lobby and recreation area, and the annex will become The Huskies Den, a new lounge and meeting space for students. The basketball and volleyball court has been completely remodeled and is ready for our first home game on January 8th.  Word of Life’s project team is overseeing the project and BBL Construction is doing the majority of the work on this full remodel.
