When the students at Finlandia University return in the fall, they will be coming back to a fully renovated state-of-the-art Paavo Nurmi Center.
One million dollars was invested to turn the old swimming pool, bowling alley and weight room into a new strength and fitness center, athletic training room and public and varsity locker rooms complete with saunas.
Finlandia University Athletic Director Chris Salani says the new facility will help student-athletes reach their full potential.
Finlandia continues to expand and improve their athletic department and with their football program starting this fall, the new space will definitely help.
The new Paavo Nurmi Center is certainly something Finlandia University is proud of.
Daily passes and annual memberships are available and. though the center is open to the public now, a grand opening with expanded programs will be held in the fall.
