Adams Athletic Performance Center

The Adams Athletic Performance Center is a state-of-the-art facility opened in the fall of 2024. Named for Trustee Robert J. Adams and his wife, Ginny, of Lakeland, Fla., the Center will be crucial in recruiting and retaining talented student-athletes.

Designed to provide approximately 16,000 square feet of additional space for the College's NCAA Division II athletic programs, this facility will impact over 550 student-athletes on campus.

The Adams Athletic Performance Center provides a 5,000-square foot varsity weight room, a 40-person theatre for film review, a conference room that overlooks Lake Hollingsworth, as well as an academic center. The facility also includes office suites for women's and men's basketball, as well as women's and men's lacrosse, while also providing a state-of-the-art women's lacrosse locker room.

This unique space was designed by architect and Frank Lloyd Wright scholar M. Jeffrey Baker of the firm Mesick Cohen Wilson Baker of Albany, N.Y. Mr. Baker has been the lead architect for the College's restorations of Wright's historic structures. His original designs for the FSC campus include the Sharon and Jim France Admissions Center (2018) and Carole and Marcus Weinstein Computer Sciences Center (2021). Rodda Construction of Lakeland built the new Adams Athletic Performance Center.

As a Trustee of the College, Bob Adams has served on and chaired various committees, including the intercollegiate athletics committee. He was inducted into the Florida Southern College Athletics Hall of Fame in 2011 and has been unwavering in his support. Together with his son Joel '93, a Distinguished Alumnus of FSC, they founded Highland Homes in 1996, with a foundation of quality, and excellence, while delivering the most satisfying home buying experience on earth.
