Corvallis – Oregon State University Vice President and Director of Athletics Scott Barnes announced Tuesday that construction will begin this summer on the remodel of the Beavers' P. Wayne Valley Sports Performance Center (SPC). The $3.5 million expansion is fully funded via private gifts.
"We are delighted to have received two generous gifts to make this project a reality," Barnes said. "One provided by a former Beaver football student-athlete and current business owner, the other by the family of two former Beaver football student-athletes." Both parties wish to remain anonymous.
The project includes all new equipment, a Gatorade Fuel Bar, overall rebranding, and other physical improvements that will enhance OSU's Sports Performance staff's ability to physically train the school's 500-plus student-athletes.
