New Facility Focus: Hadlock Student Center

Bruin Notes

Willie Stoffer Gymnasium features three full courts and is named in honor of the former student and passionate supporter of Bruin athletics who was a source of inspiration for many George Fox athletes. He died of cancer in 2017.

The university has added quite a few new buildings in recent years, but perhaps none are as visually stunning or universally celebrated by students as the Hadlock Student Center. Opened last fall, the 48,000-square-foot space offers students all the tools necessary to stay fit, have fun, compete, and even explore their natural surroundings.

The facility features three basketball/volleyball courts, an elevated indoor track, a rock-climbing wall, two yoga/dance/aerobics studios, and a fitness center with floor-to-ceiling views overlooking Hess Creek Canyon. Beyond that, there is a rental center where students can check out equipment for a wide range of outdoor activities, in addition to student leadership offices and a student lounge.

With plenty of space for intramural sports and all manner of campus-wide activities, Hadlock has quickly become a favorite spot for students to work up a sweat, host events, or simply connect with friends and hang out.

Named in honor of Bob and Camille Hadlock, alumni who dedicated their lives to spreading the gospel as missionaries, the facility was the 2019 winner of the Oregon Daily Journal of Commerce’s “Top Projects” award in the “Education – New Construction” category.

The facility’s 4,200-square-foot Fitness Center provides a diverse selection of cardio equipment, including treadmills, recumbent and upright bikes, rowing machines, ellipticals, spin bikes and stair steppers.

Need a backpack or tent for a weekend camping trip? Want to go paddleboarding, snowshoeing or simply play some Spikeball on the quad with friends? The Hadlock Rental Center has it all at student-friendly prices.
