Skidmore Opens New Tennis and Wellness Center

SARATOGA SPRINGS — Skidmore College has completed construction of its new McCaffery-Wagman Tennis and Wellness Center, which officially opened its doors at the start of the spring semester on Tuesday.

Built alongside the existing Williamson Sports Center, the new facility features spacious cardio and weight rooms with a range of modern equipment; dedicated spaces for exercise and wellness programming such as yoga, meditation, group fitness, martial arts, and spin; four indoor tennis courts; locker rooms; and team meeting rooms.

The center is also the new home of Skidmore’s Health Services, Counseling Center, and Department of Health Promotion, which together follow an integrated care approach to support students’ health and well-being.

The project was supported by a lead gift from Kim Wachenheim Wagman, Amy Wachenheim McCaffery, and their families.

“This extraordinary milestone, made possible by a transformative gift from the McCaffery-Wagman-Wachenheim families, embodies Skidmore’s deep commitment to holistic health and wellness for our entire community,” said President Marc C. Conner in a statement. “This long-awaited project reflects Skidmore’s commitment to the well-being of our campus community, a dynamic residential experience for our students, and sustainability.”
