BRIEF HISTORY
Under the guidance of former University President Dr. Dennis Hefner and former Vice President for Student Affairs Dr. David Herman, planning for the Blue Devils Fitness Center began in earnest in 2011 after the Student Association approved the use of student fees to build and equip the facility. University construction funds were also used. The facility was designed by JCJ Architecture. Assistance was provided by Fredonia State University Facilities Planning and the Department of Athletics and Recreation. Input from student groups was sought during the design and planning stages. The Blue Devils Fitness Center opened Feb. 4, 2013. The official ribbon cutting ceremony was held Feb. 22, 2013.
