RICHARDSON
BUILDING
THE RICHARDSON BUILDING
The home of the Wofford College Athletic Department since 1996 is the Richardson
Physical Activities Building. The facility includes offices for the administration, football,
baseball and other sports on the second floor. Also included on the second floor is an
aerobic dance room, team meeting room, racquetball courts and a student-athlete
lounge. Locker rooms for football, men’s and women’s cross country/track and field,
men’s and women’s soccer and a training room are located on the first floor.
Wofford alumnus Jerry Richardson made donations in 2008 and 2018 that were
used for enhancing the Richardson Building. Numerous improvements were made in
the facility to ensure that it is one of the most advanced athletic facilities in the nation.
The most recent renovations to the building include a 1,200 square foot addition
to house a new state of the art hydrotherapy suite which includes a Hydroworx aquatic
therapy pool with underwater treadmill. The existing training room was relocated to
adjoin the new hydrotherapy suite, which results in a much-needed increased size for
the new training room. Supporting the training area are three staff offices, exam room,
and state-of-the-art x-ray room. The new team meeting room is equipped with the
latest video technology and a media backdrop for post-game press conferences.
The existing football locker room was expanded and upgraded. The upgrades
included new paint, carpet, ceilings, and lighting. The equipment room has been
reconfigured, and a new high-density storage system was purchased to increase ca-
pacity and improve efficiency in the handling of equipment. In addition to the visible
improvements a new supplemental mechanical unit to control moisture and improve
indoor air quality was installed, along with new HVAC controls in the entire building.
With the campus fitness center relocated to the Benjamin Johnson Arena, reno-
vations were also made to the second floor. A second team meeting room was created
with sliding glass walls to provide flexibility for a variety of uses. A student-athlete
lounge was built near the racquetball courts which includes two 70-inch monitors.
The building also includes the Harley Room, a large multipurpose area overlooking
Gibbs Stadium. The area hosts a wide variety of campus events during the year. On the
patio, a sculpture of Jerry Richardson was dedicated on May 12, 2014 to honor him
and recognize the 20th anniversary of the Carolina Panthers summer training camp
being held on campus. The sculpture, created by noted California artist Todd Andrews,
depicts Richardson seeming to be ready to walk over to Gibbs Stadium to watch the
Terriers – for which he also played – take on the next worthy opponent.

BENJAMIN
JOHNSON
ARENA
BENJAMIN JOHNSON ARENA
When the campus community bid farewell to the Benjamin Johnson Arena as
the home of Wofford basketball and volleyball in 2017, it created new possibilities for
student recreation and wellness. The renovated Benjamin Johnson Arena student fitness
center opened in January of 2018.
“The Benjamin Johnson Arena, which opened in 1981, holds a lot of history for
Wofford College, and we’re glad we are able to continue to use the facility as a larger,
better fitness center for our students, faculty and staff,” President Nayef Samhat says.
“The addition of the new Jerry Richardson Indoor Stadium provides us with this terrific
opportunity to give our community a place in the Benjamin Johnson Arena to exercise
both their bodies and their minds.”
The lower level of the arena (once basketball and volleyball courts and bleachers)
houses a new multi-sport playing surface with three courts. A walking track surrounds
the perimeter of the courts. The locker rooms were completely renovated. The concourse
areas have become the new student fitness center with the installation of a variety of
equipment and machines.
The east concourse has weight equipment, including free weights, benches and
machines. The other concourse has cardio equipment, including treadmills, stationary
bikes and elliptical machines. The concourses also have open locker storage and new
audio-visual equipment.
In addition to the fitness activities, Benjamin Johnson Arena is home of a compre-
hensive intramural, recreation, and club sports programs that encompass team sports,
individual sports, fitness classes, club sports, as well as various other programs. High-
lights include intramural basketball and softball, equestrian club, men’s club lacrosse,
club ultimate frisbee and an outdoors club.
The arena is named after Benjamin O. Johnson ’30 who was a Spartanburg textile
executive associated with Spartan Mills. Mr. Johnson was also a trustee of Wofford
College as well as a benefactor. Wofford moved into the Benjamin Johnson Arena in
1981 after playing in adjacent Andrews Field House for 50 years. The $4.5 million arena
is part of the Campus Life Building, which was designed to serve as the center of athletic,
social and cultural activity on campus.
The first men’s basketball contest was held on January 22, 1981, as The Citadel
scored a 65-64 win over Wofford. The Terriers first win in the arena was on January 26,
1981. The men had an overall record of 334-131 in 37 seasons in the facility.
The Wofford women’s basketball team fielded its first varsity team in the 1980-
81 season, moving into Benjamin Johnson Arena in 1981 after playing in Andrews
Fieldhouse for the first half of the season. The first women’s basketball game was held
on January 22, 1981, with Wofford defeating Sacred Heart 74-25.

THE JOE E. TAYLOR CENTER
Wofford alumnus and former South Carolina Secretary of Commerce Joe Taylor
donated $1 million for the renovation of the Curry Building into the Joe E. Taylor Athletic
Center. The Taylor Center features a 7,000 square foot weight room and offices for athletic
department staff. The building, located next to Gibbs Stadium, was completed in June
of 2009.
The weight room facility is equipped with a total of 24 racks with built-in pull-up
bars and nearly 25,000 pounds of plates, dumbells and olympic weights. The 24 racks
are divided, with twelve used with platforms and twelve used with benches. Additional
equipment includes four pulldown machines, four low row machines, five power run-
ners, six glute/ham machines, two decline ab machines, a leg press and exercise bike.
Also included is a large area of Mondo track flooring, which is used with the step-up
boxes, plyo boxes and hurdle sets in speed development.
The Taylor Center also provides offices for administration and several sports,
including men’s and women’s tennis and cross country and track and field. A conference
room and several work areas give the coaching staff much needed space.
MISSION STATEMENT
The aim of the Wofford College Strength and Conditioning Department is to allow every
student-athlete the best training opportunity with proper instruction and program
implementation to create progressive gains in strength, speed, fitness levels, mobility
and body composition over the tenure of the athletic career. This will be achieved through
a created culture consumed with hard work, discipline, commitment, and knowledge
of the craft of training in a highly competitive environment.
THE PHILOSOPHY
The Strength and Conditioning Program consists of prescribed training based on sport
specific demands with a great emphasis on properly executing movement patterns
and training within the assigned threshold to optimize abilities and capabilities. Keys
to this are:
• Evaluation and Assessment
• Individual Needs / Sport Specificity
• Weight Training Movements
• Running Prescription
• Plyometric Training
• Student-Athlete Health
• Recovery and Restoration
• Training Culture
