Michigan's Novi High School's new $3 million fitness center replaces an outdated weight room that served only a few of the 2,000 students. Now a modern facility, it welcomes everyone, including 30 varsity sports teams and 10 physical education classes per semester. Featuring a glass and metal curtainwall by Tubelite Inc., the new fitness center offers natural light and views overlooking the north end zone at the school's Wildcats Stadium.
Something for Everybody
Opened at the start of the 2016-17 academic year, the 5,700-square-foot space more than doubles its predecessor. Novi High's new fitness center contains both a traditional weight room and a large area outfitted with six treadmills, six elliptical machines, five stationary bikes and other cardiovascular equipment. "No matter if you've ever lifted a weight or done cardiovascular training, whether you are on a sports team or not, there's something there for everybody," said Novi Community School District's assistant superintendent of business and operations, Steve Barr.
