Quick Facts On The Indoor Track Building

  • Hoffman-Popovich of Boalsburg and NBBJ of Columbus, Ohio designed the Multi-Sport Facilty & Horace Ashenfelter III Indoor Track.
  • The venue allows the Nittany and Lady Lions to train and compete in a building that is among the most versatile in the nation.
  • The building has all the features of a world-class facility, including six 42-inch lanes with hydraulically banked turns and eight 48-inch sprint lanes down the middle.
  • The jumpers use dual long/triple jump runways and there are two pole vault runways.
  • All running lanes and runways have a polyurethane surface.
  • Permanent seating for 800 can be expanded because, at one end of the building, the structure extends beyond the track. This area has an artificial grass surface which allows for the training of field events and serves as an additional spectator seating area during competitions.
