Rochelle Athletics Center
The state-of-the-art facility is located just north of War Memorial Stadium and has more than 46,000 square feet to accommodate several areas utilized by all the Cowboy and Cowgirl sports teams. The ground level houses an 8,600 square-foot strength and conditioning area that contains over 7,600 pounds of free weights molded with the custom "Pokes" logo, including 18 Power Racks and 15 Olympic Lifting Platforms. With the help of UW's strength and conditioning staff members, student-athletes have access to tried and proven training methods.One of the most widely used facilities in UW Athletics, the Curtis and Marian Rochelle Athletics Center opened its doors in August of 2001 and serves athletic needs of all 17 Wyoming sports. The $9.4 million facility was entirely paid for by private donations from 167 different donors, including a historic $4.2 million gift from the Rochelles, which was the largest donation in school history at the time.
The Cowboy football offices are on the second floor, and are home full-time coaches with their own individual offices and individual position meeting rooms. A display on Cowboys in the NFL are also prominent on the second floor of the RAC along with the number of scholarships given to Walk-on under head coach Craig Bohl.
The RAC was expanded with the High Alititude Performance Center. The HAPC increased square footage from 47,000 in the original Rochelle Athletics Center to a total of 118,000 square feet -- an increase of 71,000 square feet.
