Delta High School in Muncie, Ind., has unveiled a $6 million fitness center and other school improvements.
The fitness center spans 37,000 square feet and two stories within the school, reports The Star Press.
The district's Project 20 plan enabled the school to upgrade the weight room and construct an indoor track area.
School officials said the athletic spaces hadn't been updated since 1974, and had become too small and outdated for efficient use.
The school's main gym and auxiliary gym were also becoming cramped, and several sports teams had to share the area. When visiting teams came to play, they had to make long trips around the school to reach their facilities.
The weight room, which held about 15 to 20 athletes before updates, can now hold about 100.
Other improvements to the high school: added learning stairs in the commons areas. The commons area also has charging outlets for students, and a coffee shop.
Lockers within the commons area were also updated and are right next to the lunch room for easier supervision.
Odle McGuire Shook Architects designed the facility.
