Construction Underway on $50 Million Donor-Funded Human Performance Center Projects

• Project Microsite​

FORT WORTH -- Construction has begun on TCU's $50 million donor-funded Athletics Human Performance Center Renovation and Expansion Projects which include two new facilities and the renovation of two others with a July 2025 completion date.

The projects, which will support all 515 TCU student-athletes in the 22-sport program, include: 1) Renovation of the existing Bob Lilly Performance Center, 2) Development of a Restoration and Wellness Center, 3) Construction of a new state-of-the-art Football Performance Center and 4) Expanded entryway to the TCU football facilities.

The 10,000-square-foot Restoration and Wellness Center will include a cryo lounge, hydro massage and red light therapy.

Since beginning Big 12 Conference play in 2012, TCU has made nearly $500 million in donor-funded athletics facilities upgrades.

"For our current student-athletes and future Horned Frogs, we are very proud to have construction officially underway on our Human Performance Center Renovation and Expansion Projects as well as the Athletics Restoration and Wellness Center," TCU Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Jeremiah Donati said. "These donor-funded facilities, which will be the most comprehensive project we have undertaken at TCU, positions us as a national leader in support of student-athletes through innovation and the latest technology when it comes to training, preparation, restoration, wellness and nutrition. The commitment and investment by our donors in our student-athletes, on and off the field, underscores the momentum we are experiencing in our athletics program."
The Athletics HPC is a comprehensive capital project that will add over 30,000 square feet in new facilities while renovating and enhancing roughly 20,000 square feet of the current Bob Lilly Performance Center.

"This project positions TCU Athletics among the top collegiate athletics facilities in the country," TCU Chancellor Victor J. Boschini, Jr. said. "The new Athletics Human Performance Center enables us to provide the most elite training and wellness programs for our student-athletes – which will help them achieve their goals on and off the field. We are grateful for our donors who are making this project possible through their generous support of TCU Athletics."

The new Football Performance Center will include 20,000 square feet of strength and conditioning space, conference rooms and technology centers that connect the Sam Baugh Indoor Practice Facility and the Morris Practice Fields.

The renderings and layout of TCU's new Performance Center are

impressive indeed. This sets a new standard of enhancement that

some of our opponents might have difficulty emulating.....

From a recruiting angle only, does it matter in the NIL era?

If the facilities help the athletes out when they are at TCU, I'm all for them. And I deeply appreciate the generosity of the donors.

NIL money is directed not from the University but from supporters.. Your point does make one wonder if donors/supporters would better serve the program by putting cash into players' pockets thru NIL deals rather than building over the top facilities.

You can put your name on a building, but not a player

It’s all important. TCU is behind peers in this particular facilities space because CGP was behind the curve on nutrition/wellness.

Going forward, more money will need to be diverted from facilities to: NIL, covering gaps that arise if revenue sharing takes hold, and covering the gap between the Big 12/ACC money and SEC/Big Ten money.

But facilities still matter, too. It all does.

According to Saarloos NIL is more important than the facilities.

I would bet the players want the money, but will still expect top notch facilities - why settle for one, when you can demand both.

Can that human performance center create a DB that doesn't get beat over the top?
