LIMESTONE FACILITIES
LIMESTONE COLLEGE
Limestone Physical Education Center
Limestone College made a major announcement in the summer of 2004. The College will build a new physical
education center, expected to be completed early in the spring semester. The new facility will offer three
classrooms, nine offices, locker rooms, Athletic Training Education facilities, a fitness center, and a wrestling
practice facility.
Located on Thompson street near Limestone Springs, the facility will be the first new building on the Limestone
campus since the Timken Center was dedicated 30 years ago. The Physical Education facility will give Limestone’s
Athletic Training Education Program the necessary space to meet accreditation standards of the American Medical
Association’s Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs which will allow Limestone
students to sit for the National Athletic Trainers Association Board of Certification Examination.
In addition to the new Athletic Training facilities, the facility will also house a 3,900 square foot weight training
facility which will be a great asset for Limestone’s approximately 300 varsity athletes as well as all other students,
faculty, and staff. Limestone’s wrestling team, which begins competition in the 2004-2005 school year, will have a
practice area in the new building, although the team will hold its matches in the Timken Center.
The Timken Center, built in 1976, is the center of the Limestone Athletic Department, housing athletic offices,
athletic training facilities, and classrooms. The Timken Center also houses Limestone’s basketball arena, a 1,500 seat
facility that hosts men’s and women’s basketball games as well as volleyball and wrestling matches. Limestone’s
junior Olympic sized pool is also located inside the Timken Center. Home to the Lady Saints Swimming Team, the
pool features an 800 square foot observation balcony coupled with 2,500 square feet of deck space.
