Sports Performance Center

Help Skyhawks Thrive from the Classroom to Competition!

Graduating champions in the classroom, competition, and greater community continue with the CommonSpirit Sports Performance Center. This state-of-the-art facility will provide innovative performance, rehabilitation, nutrition, and wellness programs and equipment for all involved. The facility will create more student-centered pathways for FLC, from alleviating capacity issues at the current Student Life Center to playing an essential role in recruiting and retaining high-caliber student-athletes. A true game-changer for every Skyhawk is a brick away.

CommonSpirit Mercy Hospital Partnership

Fort Lewis College is making yet another stride in health and performance facility development with the support of CommonSpirit Mercy Hospital, the premier medical provider of the Four Corners region. CommonSpirit Health, the Official Sports Medicine Partner of Fort Lewis College Athletics, committed $4 million as a lead gift to the FLC Foundation and FLC to kickstart the renovation of the existing Aquatics Center. The CommonSpirit Sports Performance Center will house strength and conditioning equipment, athletic training, and physical therapy amenities, including on-campus training and recovery guided by Mercy Sports Medicine providers and renowned sports medicine and orthopedic treatment experts.
