Oregon State gymnasts train in the brand new $7.15-million OSU Gymnastics Practice Facility.
The space includes a 250 percent increase in studio space, a 2,000-square-foot team area, all new training equipment, and a lobby that includes spectator seating and recognition of the program's history of success. This venue also includes fully integrated video and sound, on-floor instructional screens, plunge pools, team meeting and office space, locker room and an on-site resources for physical therapy.
The 20,000-square-foot center, the largest in the Pac-12, was revealed during the spring of 2021 and was funded with a combination of generosity secured through the OSU Foundation and university support.
The gymnastics program vacates its longtime home at the Gladys Valley Gymnastics Center. An iconic building located in central campus, the GVGC served as the home for the "GymBeavs" for nearly 30 years.
A key part of the transition was the relocation of the historic Joy Selig statue to the new facility. The piece, created by James Stephenson and dedicated in 1993, commemorates the achievements of the former Beaver gymnast, an OSU Athletics hall of fame member and three-time national champion.
