Today's students arrive at Smith with high expectations for athletic facilities-and Smith has responded. Renovations to athletic facilities provide expanded opportunities for competitive sports, club sports, and personal fitness habits that will be useful throughout life.

The new Olin Fitrness Center, fully utilized from its first open day, provides attractive and important support to athletic team training and all women who take personal health and fitness seriously. The Center offers more than 30 new pieces of aerobic equipment (each with its own television set), 40 new weight machines and an array of free-weight equipment. The facility can accommodate about 100 people exercising simultaneously.

The $4 million Olin Fitness Center was made possible by a gift from the Spencer T. and Ann W. Olin Foundation in honor of Barbara Olin Taylor '54 and Judy Olin Higgins '58.

Most young women who come to Smith have had an early start in sports and are accustomed to excellent facilities, year-round coaching, and high levels of competition. Fitness training, an essential part of team and individual programs, is now available in a state-of-the-art, light-filled setting.
