Phase II Construction Updates:
May 21, 2008

Clemson is committed to building a model sports program - one that propels our university into achieving and maintaining national athletic rankings and that rivals that of our competitors.

The WestZone is a major step forward in building a total sports program. When the WestZone is completed, Clemson athletics will be better able to:

* recruit and nurture top-quality student-athletes;
* attract and retain outstanding coaches and staff;
* provide recruits and fans outstanding facilities; and
* promote Clemson school spirit.

"To get and keep great coaches and student athletes, we need great infrastructure. A strong infrastructure will lead to wins. We have a lot of work to do. But this is one of the universities in America that can get it done.” - Athletic Director Terry Don Phillips

Building success requires building for success. While the WestZone is located in Memorial Stadium, the completed project will provide resources for Clemson’s total sports program, permitting all Tiger teams and athletes to compete with the nation’s best. Moving all football operations to the WestZone will open up space in the Jervey and McFadden buildings for the other 18 sports to improve their facilities for recruiting and have more office, training, conditioning and sports medicine space. This will greatly enhance the overall performance both on and off the field for all Clemson sports.
