Mount Mercy's state-of-the-art wellness and athletic performance center, opened in June 2019, was made possible by a substantial gift from John Rinderknecht, Mount Mercy trustee and president of Ram Development Company. The dynamic training facility serves Mount Mercy's 500+ student-athletes and 2,100+ students, faculty, and staff. Located across the street from the Robert W. Plaster Athletic Complex -- the transformed warehouse includes batting cages, golf hitting bays and putting green, a sprint track, athletic training room, fitness/cardio/weight equipment, a dynamic movement area for yoga, and more. Renovations included a new HVAC system and new flooring, roof, siding, and windows that look onto the athletic complex. The neighboring building, formerly the Barry K. Wendt building, is also a new addition to Mustang athletics and houses administrative offices.
