The Margot Connell Recreation Center redefines the future of fitness and recreation at ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã. The 244,000 square-foot, four-story structure off St. Thomas More Road offers our community an inspired space to play, pursue sports, gather with friends and work out.
This facility includes a fitness center, rock climbing wall, jogging track, aquatics center, wood-floor basketball courts, tennis courts, multi-activity courts, multi-purpose rooms for spin, yoga, and fitness classes, and more.
The center is named in honor one of ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã’s most generous benefactors, whose civic and philanthropic endeavors have made her a role model for ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã students.ÌýA trustee associate, honorary degree recipient, mother of six—all of whom are ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã graduates—and the grandmother of 17, Margot Connell has been described by University President William P. Leahy, S.J., as a “matriarch of the ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã community.â€
Margot was inspired to create an outlet for students engaged in the rigorous demands of a ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã education. An avid golfer and sports enthusiast, she has observed many of ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã’s most memorable sports moments alongside her late husband and children.
