Lamberti Recreation Center

The Lamberti Recreation Center is a 54,000-square-foot facility that includes the six-lane, 200-meter Dennis Young Indoor Track and three multi-purpose courts--Brown Court, Pierce Court and Saggau Court--that are used for tennis, volleyball and basketball.

The BVU football, baseball, softball, golf, tennis, and track and field teams all take advantage of this facility when the weather does not permit outdoor practices. The facility has also been the venue for many events since opening in 2001, including indoor collegiate and high school track invitational meets, alumni track invitational meets, indoor tennis, youth basketball shoot-outs and intramurals.

The facility is named in honor of Don Lamberti, chair of BVU's board of trustees and chairman of Casey's General Stores, for his multi-million-dollar leadership gift in funding the new building. The construction and endowment of the $9.5 million facility was completely funded by donor contributions.

The facility, completed in 2001, is filled with more than 60 pieces of Life Fitness and Hammer Strength equipment, along with assorted barbells ranging from one to 125 pounds.
