The Wyant Athletic and Wellness Center, a multi-level building in the heart of the North Residential Village, shows the continuing evolution of the northern section of campus as an attractive, useful place for all students, faculty and staff.

The university’s varsity athletes, as well as the rest of the campus community, have seen the benefits of the convenience and location of the space with amenities that include:

• Steve Belichick Varsity Weight Room, a 4,500-square-foot space named for the father of New England Patriots Head Coach Bill Belichick. The elder Belichick graduated from Western Reserve University in 1941.
• DiGeronimo Fitness Center, a workout facility that gives the campus community an alternative to Veale Athletic Center, which is especially appreciated by students who live on the northern end of campus.
• Varsity Club, which features office and meeting space and a balcony that overlooks DiSanto Field and the Coach Bill Sudeck Track.

Wyant Athletic and Wellness Center is named for Jim Wyant, a 1965 graduate of Case Institute of Technology and four-year varsity letter winner in cross country and track, who made multimillion-dollar pledges to help build the athletic center and Sears think[box].

A second phase of the center calls for the creation of a North Campus Field House, with a 15,000‐square‐foot facility that would give varsity athletes climate-controlled space with a turf surface for year-round use. The new space could be used not only by the football, baseball, softball, men’s and women’s soccer teams, as well as track athletes, but physical-education classes, intramural teams and club sports would have another location option in winter months
