Monmouth University broke ground for its new Multipurpose Activity Center (MAC), on September 8, 2007.
WEST LONG BRANCH, N.J. – The MAC, which will serve students, faculty, employees, alumni and residents of the local community, is slated to contain a multipurpose gymnasium with 4,100 installed seats and a 200M, 6-lane indoor track. The new building will also be home to the University Bookstore, the Monmouth University Athletics Hall of Fame, home and opposing locker rooms, educational and administrative areas, a new Varsity Club, and a new Fitness Center.
The Activity Center will expand the scope of Monmouth’s intramural and recreational programs and enhance its NCAA Division I athletic programs. It will encompass 152,400 square feet at a cost of more than $50 million.
Torcon provided comprehensive preconstruction phase services to Monmouth University over the past several months, working closely with Philadelphia-based architect, Ewing Cole. Enabling sitework projects are currently underway. Construction of the MAC will begin in December with Torcon as CM.
