Adams Athletic Performance Center
Under Construction
Plans for the Adams Athletic Performance Center plans were initially announced in the fall of 2019. The Adams Center will provide a 5,000 square foot varsity weight room, a 40-person theatre for film review, a conference room that overlooks Lake Hollingsworth, and an academic center. The facility will also include office suites for women's and men's basketball, as well as women's and men's lacrosse, while also providing a state-of-the-art women's lacrosse locker room. The center was designed by architect and Frank Lloyd Wright scholar M. Jeffery Baker of the Mesick Cohen Wilson Baker firm. Baker has also been the lead architect for the College's restorations of Wright's historic structures. The Adams Athletic Performance Center was anticipated to open in Spring 2024 and will take the place of the former L.N. Pipkin Bandshell, which was razed in August 2022.
The Adams Athletic Performance Center was named for Trustee Robert J. Adams and his wife Ginny. Robert J. "Bob" Adams is the owner and president of Highland Homes in Lakeland, Florida. Adams has served on the FSC Board of Trustees since 2006, and was chair of the athletics committee from 2008-10. He helped the college raise over $60 million.
