On June 18 , Life University hosted a groundbreaking ceremony for its new Running Eagles Performance ( REP ) Center and Upper Field . Attendees included Mayor Steve Tumlin , City of Marietta ; members of Life U ’ s Board of Trustees and Leadership team ; and other local dignitaries .
Life U is in the process of making significant additions to its outdoor athletics complex , making it one of the premier small college athletic facilities across the country and one of the best sports facilities in metro Atlanta . The upgraded facilities are expected to not only meet the infrastructure needs of the University ’ s more than 600 student-athletes , but also prepare for additional growth in the future . Upon the completion of the project , Life U ’ s student-athletes will be able to train and compete daily in firstclass facilities that will aid in their athletic development .
“ There ’ s no better symbolism to mark the thriving of Life University than to erect a new building on our campus ,” remarked Life University President Dr . Rob Scott . “ This is so much more than just a new building . It ’ s truly symbolic of our commitment to our students and student-athletes , and our way of ensuring that we meet their needs on this campus so that they have an environment and facilities to continue their success .”
