The New Bowers Center at Elizabethtown College
One of our largest projects of 2019 was to design and equip the newly constructed Bowers Center for Sports, Fitness and Well-Being at Elizabethtown College in Pennsylvania. It was an honor to be selected as the sole fitness provider for this endeavor, and we put all hands on deck to bring the vision for this space to life. Measuring over 10,300 square feet, the fitness center encompasses a large area for cardio, strength and free weight training, a core and stretching space, a Mind/Body studio, and a group exercise room that can accommodate 30+ exercisers.
This project includes a variety of custom-branded elements, including full-color shroud wraps on select strength units, ‘E-town Blue’ upholstery on strength benches and seats, and dumbbells that boast the Elizabethtown Athletics logo. On each Precor networked cardio screen, customized walk-up graphics are displayed highlighting campus news and events. Blue and white floor-to-ceiling wall wraps throughout the facility tie everything together perfectly.
Congratulations to Elizabethtown College on a magnificent new recreation center!
“The construction of the new Bowers Center for Sports, Fitness and Well-Being at Elizabethtown College gave our campus new life. There has been a craving for more health and wellness opportunities on campus for a long time and this incredible facility has filled that void! I’ve worked with the Advantage Team for a couple years now and they are always so nice, knowledgeable, and caring to their customers! When I was brought on during this project, there was no other team that I’d want to work with to help with our fitness needs!”
