Historical Note

It was built on top of the plot of land used to grow potatoes on the old campus farm. In 1983, a swimming pool, rowing tanks, training rooms and locker rooms were added. In 1998, a two-story fitness and wellness center was incorporated into the Hart Center design, funded by Park B. Smith and his wife, Carol. The construction of the Luth Athletic Complex in 2018 enhanced and expanded the Hart Center, adding more than 140,000 square feet and completing renovations to the original structure.
