Citadel Strength Coach Todd Lair, put together a project to improve the Athletic Department strength program and determined that over $100,000 was needed to redo the “All Team Sports Strength Facility” at Seignious Hall. Dr. Harvey Schiller ’62 donated $50,000 when he was inducted into The Citadel Athletic Hall of Fame at Homecoming of 2001. Once it was determined that The Citadel did not have the money to finish the project, the AFA took on the project to raise the other $50,000+ in December 2001.
The AFA mailed a letter from Coach Johnson about this project in January of 2002. The AFA is proud to announce that on December 30, 2002, we completed the fund raising on this project. This was made possible by a “very substantial donation” from John & Margaret Carlisle ’64.
This is a project that we had to do to stay competitive in the SoCon. The Weight room is for all “Team Sports” at The Citadel, both men and women. Everyone that donated to this project has their name on a plaque at the strength facility to show our appreciation. Thank You for your support!
