Everything inside the renovated facility will be new — weights, dumbbell sets, weight racks, lifting machines, cardio machines and a few first-time items.



YEA BUDDY! I am going to be all up in that auction. Need some more equipment for my garage gym.

I was thinking the same thing. Where would one go to acquire such used equipment as this?

The long-awaited groundbreaking for LSU’s new nutrition center could come soon. The school is waiting for construction bids to return. Construction is set to begin after a bid is chosen, Nunez said. That could come this summer, he said.


My brother is bidding this job for his company. He built the westside gates, and light fixtures atop of them a few years ago.

Rode by today to check on progress. Basically just the iron work has been mostly completed. Probably a month or more before my crews get in there.

No it hasn't. You're thinking of something else entirely...

It isn't. It's 100% fully funded by TAF, and as noted earlier, construction bids have been sent out.

The other poster was confused by the School of Nutrition and Food Science Conference being cancelled and equated that with the Tiger Athletic Nutrition Center. They are not one and the same

LSU is one of the few schools in the conference and in the Power 5 conferences without a nutrition center for it's athletes. We're currently making do with three Fueling Stations at the Cox Communications Academic Center for Student-Athletes, the football ops weight room, and the stadium weight room.
