Wofford alumnus and South Carolina Secretary of Commerce Joe Taylor donated $1 million for the renovation of the Curry Building into the Joe E. Taylor Athletic Center. The Taylor Building features a 7,000 square foot weight room and offices for athletic department staff. The building, located next to Gibbs Stadium, was completed in June of 2009.
The weight room facility is equipped with a total of 24 racks with built-in pull-up bars and nearly 25,000 pounds of plates, dumbells and olympic weights. The 24 racks are divided, with twelve used with platforms and twelve used with benches. Additional equipment includes four pulldown machines, four low row machines, five power runners, six glute/ham machines, two decline ab machines, a leg press and exercise bike. Also included is a large area of Mondo track flooring, which is used with the step-up boxes, plyo boxes and hurdle sets in speed development.
The Taylor Building also provides offices for administration and numerous sports, including men’s and women’s soccer, men’s and women’s golf, men’s and women’s tennis, cross country and track and field. A conference room and several work areas give the coaching staff much needed space. The rifle range is also located on the first floor.
