BUFFALO, N.Y. — The University at Buffalo held a grand opening ceremony for the Brittany Murchie Mulla Sports Performance Center on Oct. 17.  

Serving all student-athletes on UB’s 14 varsity teams, the 12,000-square-foot, multilevel facility is directly connected to the Murchie Family Fieldhouse on UB’s North Campus. The state-of-the-art facility, designed by Architectural Resources of Buffalo, aims to elevate the training experience of UB’s student-athletes and foster excellence on the courts and fields of play, with features that include 18 free-weight training racks; a 42-foot, 17-degree turf training incline; and a 1,000-square-foot cardio mezzanine. The facility also expands administrative capacity with a new supplemental nutrition area, three offices and a conference room. 

“As (students) take full advantage of everything this stunning space has to offer, it is elevating their performance in their respective sports,” said UB President Satish K. Tripathi at the grand opening celebration. “In this way, the Brittany Murchie Mulla Sports Performance Center is emblematic of UB’s commitment to student success.” 

The $7.9 million facility’s construction is part of a building boom happening across UB’s campuses, which will see $1.64 billion in construction planned over the next decade. Future projects will include classroom modernizations, new library spaces, a supercomputing center and a makeover for the existing Cooke-Hochstetter Science Complex.
