Tufts Breaks Ground on New Sports, Fitness Center

On Tuesday Tufts University broke ground on the Steve Tisch Sports and Fitness Center. The 42,000 square foot complex will feature an expanded fitness center, activity rooms, new locker rooms, athletic offices, a new sports medicine suite, and more. It is named for Steve Tisch, chairman of the New York Giants football team, Academy Award–winning film producer and member of Tufts class of 1971, who has led the support of the facility with $13 million in gifts. The project is slated for completion and use by the start of the fall 2012 semester.
