“Friends University is very pleased with our relationship with McCownGordon, and the excellent work provided on the renovation and expansion of the Garvey Athletic Center. I greatly appreciated their attention to detail and thorough communication. We were well informed through every step of the process.”

– Amy Bragg Carey | President of Friends University

This building was once shared with the YMCA and most recently had served as home to the Athletic Department, Garvey Gymnasium and the Art Department. The project centralizes all athletics into one building and provides a larger training room, an expanded weight room, administrative spaces, a team meeting room and a refreshed main lobby. The exterior of the building received new roofing over several areas in addition to new paving and sidewalks.
