With an athletic-forward student body, Elizabethton High School thrives on the challenge of competition. Their multi-sport facilities are well-known in the region as top-notch and top-performing, and the new field house and practice facility is no exception. Boasting a full-size practice gym, 50-yard turf practice field and extensive weight-training room with support areas, the future “Cyclone Wellness Center” is ready to train and accommodate the next wave of “Betsy” students. Updated access to convenient parking, the adjacent Citizens Bank Athletic Complex, and auxiliary gymnasium poise the facility as a hub for student use for both competitive practice and general physical education. The single-pitched roof line, use of translucent side panels, and colorful interior structure offer an avenue for both form and function - a building that serves immense purpose while blending into the branded aesthetic of campus life.
