The UNK Shirley Walker Sport Performance Room
The Nebraska-Kearney weight room is housed on the lower level (West side) of the Health & Sports Center. In the summer of 2001, expansion and new equipment added to an already great facility.
The 5,000 square foot Shirley Walker Strength & Conditioning Room provides state of the art equipment for all the Lopers varsity sports. The facility includes 10 multi-racks, six half racks, six Olympic lifting platforms, dumbbell and machine areas.
The 2001 project was funded by the generosity of Dr. Brad Rodgers. The weight room received a total renovation in the summer of 2018. The renovation included new flooring, turf area, dumb bells, racks, and inlaid platforms.
