Ecore Provides Training Solution at Sacramento State University

In keeping with the Sacramento State University campus’ rugged outdoor environment, Sacramento State offers opportunities for adventure both indoors and out. The school’s recreation and wellness center, known as The WELL, exists for the benefit of students and the greater Sacramento community. Built six years ago, The WELL is a 150,000-square-foot facility that offers student health support, outdoor education, a recreation facility, and a climbing wall.

“When the building was constructed, the architects included some weird spaces that were non-usable outdoor areas,” said Jason Blessinger, assistant director of fitness at Sacramento State. “More specifically, an area outside of the fitness center had access issues, and members could not go in and out. Our goal was: How can we use this space more effectively? We were looking at enclosing it, which would have cost more than $2 million and was too expensive. The administration thought this space would never be used.”
