Rust College Unveils Major Renovations to Kinzell Lawson Gymnasium and Athletic Facilities
Under Patterson's leadership, the renovation project has modernized the Kinzell Lawson Gymnasium with state-of-the-art flooring and the installation of automatic, more comfortable bleacher seating. In addition, stage two of the project is well underway, focusing on modernizing the pool—including water restoration; revamping the recovery room with a sauna and cold tubs; and upgrading the weight room.
"These improvements reflect our commitment to providing student-athletes with the best resources both on and off the field," said Patterson. "We are dedicated to supporting our athletes' success in the classroom and in their sports, while also enhancing community pride."
Looking ahead, Rust College plans to construct a new softball field for our female athletes and renovate the baseball field to meet our high-performance standards.
Rust College's extensive renovations underscore our dedication to our community and our relentless pursuit of athletic and academic excellence.
