SCHOTT AEC DONOR WALL CAMPAIGN

LEAVE YOUR LEGACY INSIDE THIS GAME-CHANGING FACILITY FOR BRONCO ATHLETICS

About The Stephen C. And Patricia A. Schott Athletic Excellence Center

Introducing the home of the next generation of Olympians, All-Americans, World Champions and Hall of Fame athletes from Santa Clara University. Made possible by lead funding of $15 million from Stephen C. ’60 and Patricia A. Schott, and $10 million from Mary ’84 and Mark Stevens, the Stephen C. and Patricia A. Schott Athletic Excellence Center is a state-of-the-art facility for Bronco student-athletes that broke ground in April 2019 and was envisioned to open in the summer of 2020. However, the COVID-19 pandemic delayed construction and completion is now expected by the end of September.

The $37 million, 50,000-square-foot building, which was announced in November 2018, and approved by the school's Board of Trustees in February 2019, will provide dedicated space to work out, train, practice, eat and study together— while also opening up much-needed facility options for events and for all students participating in club and intramural sports. The two-story facility will feature the 4,200-square-foot Stevens Academic Center, the 9,000-square-foot Bronco Bench Foundation Sports Performance Center, an 8,000-square-foot sports medicine center, the William J. and Pamela G. Connolly Fuel Station (nutrition center) and two practice gymnasiums - Dick Davey Court and Carroll Williams Court.

The most recent benchmark in the construction of the facility was the Beam Signing/Topping Off Ceremony in October 2019. The facility structure is currently nearing completion, while interior finishing will come next. So far, $36 million has been committed (this number includes a $1 million operating endowment) by nearly 150 donors to make this facility a reality.

Stevens Academic Center 

With 4,200 square feet of space, the Stevens Academic Center will consist of unique areas to study, an outdoor balcony, open lobby study areas, large and small group study rooms, computer stations and staff offices.    Bronco Bench Foundation Sports Performance Center         The Bronco Bench Foundation Sports Performance Center will feature 9,000 square feet, quadrupling the current facility, that will have space for weight training, cardio equipment, stretching and plyometrics, along with coaches offices and workspaces.   John Filizetti & Coach McPherson Sports Medicine Center

A 8,000-square-foot sports medicine center features areas for treatment and rehabilitation, as well as medical offices. There will also be a hydrotherapy room, which will include hot and cold pools and an underwater treadmill.
