A Team Effort

The original WHAC facility, built in the 1980’s and expanded in the early 2000’s, lacked the many amenities required to recruit and retain student-athletes for a football program of the caliber of the Buckeyes. Throughout late 2016 and early 2017 MSA Sport partnered with the Athletics Department, Men’s Football Coaching staff, and Facilities Operation and Development department to plan a renovation/expansion project for the WHAC. MSA Sport completed the documents in 2018, and construction occurred in 2018-2019.
