Colby College embarked on its largest capital project in its history with the construction of the new Harold Alfond Athletics and Recreation Center, a state-of-the-art facility to increase the competitiveness of Colby’s intercollegiate athletics program, while providing greater wellness and community space on the campus. The athletic center integrated five major indoor athletic venues into one complex, including an aquatic center, field house, ice rink, gymnasium and squash courts, along with an 11,000 sq. ft. strength and fitness facility, space for spectators, administrative and coaching offices, team meeting rooms, locker rooms, the Colby Hall of Fame and various building support functions.
