Athletic Performance Center

Charleston Southern unveiled the new Athletic Performance Center in the fall of 2017. During the summer of 2024, it underwent a massive renovation on its equipment and setup. A full video of the renovation can be found here.

The upgrades included now featuring the Williams Strength Signature full double-sided combo hybrid rack, considered to be the best rack on the market. These racks are fully equipped with jammer arms, band pegs, and other modalities that will allow efficient training to enhance student-athlete performance. The racks also feature laser-imprinted Buccaneers logos across the arch bridges.

Another major upgrade to the facility includes a renovation of the previous floor. The new flooring is navy-blue beast plus roll with the needed thickness to be able to withstand heavy weight being dropped and the amount of volume coming through the performance center daily. A turf area through the middle of the room was added as well. This addition allows for low-impact plyometrics for speed and power development as well as a general warm-up area.

The 8,000-square-foot facility, built adjacent to the Buccaneer Field House, effectively doubled the size and capabilities of the previous weight room, with state-of-the-art Sorinex equipment and amenities. The meeting center accommodates strength coach offices, offensive and defensive team meeting spaces, and film review and tutoring sessions, for which there was previously not a designated space.

The weight room houses the nutrition center available to all CSU student-athletes. The center features grab-and-go items including smoothies and supplements, as well as various healthy food options throughout the day. The strength and conditioning staff and student-workers keep the center open following late practices to ensure all athletes have options for snacks, food and recovery to keep the Bucs in prime condition for athletic competition.

The office space serves as the home of Buccaneer football. It combines a 5,000-square-foot strength and conditioning center and 3,000-square-feet for meeting and office space, essential for recruiting as well as enhancing student-athlete wellness and the competitive experience.
