The $55 million complex is more than 140,000 square feet and is highlighted by a players’ lounge that includes a barber shop, arcade, bowling alley and laser tag.

The facility will also include a 24-seat HD theater, an indoor golf simulator and an indoor replica of The Hill and Howard’s Rock.

Other amenities include an outdoor village with basketball, putt putt and seating areas, as well as a training/rehab facility with five pools, a 20,000-square foot weight room, a nutrition center and a nap room.

The nutrition center will have players weigh in, with their weight being sent to their position coach and Swinney so that they can see if a player is at his target weight.

The nap room is the favorite feature of Thad Turnipseed, who is Clemson’s director of recruiting and external affairs after Swinney hired him away from Alabama. It will feature eight bunk beds, three massage chairs and bean bags.

“The number one problem is lack of sleep, and right now what guys do all over the country is bring a pillow and go find a staircase or locker or hallway, and they’ll lay down and sleep, especially during two-a-days and really all year long,” Turnipseed said. “The nap room cost very little and is a great benefit.”
