The University of Iowa announced they plan to build a $20 million training center for women’s gymnastics team and spirit squads.  The announcement came on Tuesday, and said the facility will have competition style beams, vault runways, uneven bars and a floor-exercise space.  In addition to practice space totaling about 21,000 square feet, there will be locker rooms, meeting and athletic training rooms, office space and a multi-purpose room. The project will be paid for with athletic department revenue and private gifts. The building will be adjacent to the women’s soccer and field hockey facilities. The gymnastics team finished the 2023 season ranked No. 26 nationally, reaching as high as No. 15 during the regular season.
