Saint Leo Wellness Center
Saint Leo University marked a construction milestone with a topping-off ceremony for its new Wellness Center, according to a school news release.

The facility, on the west end of the campus by Lake Jovita, will create an environment for holistic health and well-being that integrates student recreation, fitness, health services, counseling services and campus ministry. The center is expected to be completed in the fall.

The bond-funded Wellness Center will feature:

  • Resort-style pool with two lap lanes, an area for volleyball and basketball, and a shallow area for lounging
  • Patio and pool deck with a 180-degree view of Lake Jovita
  • Fitness area with cardio equipment, free weights and machines, as well as a dance studio, yoga studio and cycling center, all with a variety of scheduled class programming
  • Health Services, University Ministry, Counseling & Prevention Services, and Recreation services
  • Multipurpose gymnasium with an indoor walking track that can be converted for a variety of events

• Café offering healthy food options, an outdoor poolside barbecue and seating area with a gas grill and fire pit
