Indoor Equestrian Center (B)

Completed Summer 2021

The Indoor Equestrian Center opened for the fall 2021 semester. The 125-by-250 square foot riding surface within the arena allows for year-round educational and outreach programming for the university community and year-round training for the club equestrian team and academic classes. The indoor arena, which broke ground in November 2020, was funded by donor gifts to the equestrian facility fund.
