The Wayne Densch Center for Student-Athlete Leadership has officially received its final approval from the Florida Board of Governors.
On Nov. 6, UCF Vice President and Director of Athletics Todd Stansbury released a letter on UCFKnights.com confirming that the Wayne Densch Center for Student-Athlete Leadership will have a groundbreaking ceremony later this month, before construction begins at Bright House Networks Stadium in early 2015.
The student-athlete center received the largest donation in UCF athletics history–$4 million from the Wayne Densch Charitable Trust to help fund the $6.5 million structure.
The center is planned to be 24,000 square feet and serve as a headquarters for UCF student-athletes. The center is expected to be equipped with a multi-purpose classroom which will hold 200 students, a computer lab, tutoring and mentoring rooms, study space and conference and resource rooms.
“The Leadership Center will be the first athletics building constructed during my time at UCF. I’m very proud it’s a facility that will serve as the headquarters for UCF student-athletes’ personal, professional and academic development, as we produce tomorrow’s leaders,” Stansbury said in his letter.
