They [players] were in here last night for the first time and you could see the smiles, you could see the sense of

pride in Arkansas State, you could see the sense of pride in this program.

Keith Heckendorf, ASU Offensive Coordinator

The key to showcasing school pride in your athletic facilities is simple: infuse your story into everything you create. At Arkansas State, it meant creating an entirely new facility—the Centennial Bank Athletics Operation Center—to inspire new recruits and give current players and staff a home to be proud of. The renovation has had an immediate impact on the players and staff that now call this space their home. The first floor houses the player locker room with custom ceiling elements, barber shop, state-of-the-art strength/conditioning and sports medicine centers, a players lounge and equipment room. The second floor features offices, team meeting rooms, a movie-theater film room, and a history showroom displaying Red Wolves in the NFL.

In partnership with AECOM (Architect) and Ramsons Construction (General Contractor), Dimensional Innovations helped bring experience expertise the new $29 million facility renovation of the north end zone. The first floor houses the player locker room with custom ceiling elements, barber shop, state-of-the-art strength and conditioning and sports medicine centers, a players lounge and equipment room. Each locker comes with an illuminated display above it of the player’s picture, name, hometown and jersey number. The second floor features offices, team meeting rooms, a 201 movie-theater style film room, and a history showroom with display on the wall of all of the Red Wolves who’ve made it big into the NFL.
