Gregory P. Knapp '65 Strength Room

Gregory P. Knapp '65 Strength Room is a 3,076-square-foot facility on the basement level of the Spiro Sports Center. Home to the strength and conditioning program that services each of Wagner’s 26 varsity sports, the facility was dedicated in December 2009.

A significant undertaking that provided significant benefit to the entire athletic department, Dr. Thomas G. Moles ’65, a lifetime member of the Wagner College Board of Trustees and former Seahawk football player, was the primary donor in this project that was realized due to the generosity of a number of donors. Dr. Moles made a major gift towards the project in the name of his good friend, the late Gregory Knapp ’65. Knapp, who passed away in July, 2009 was also a lifetime member of the Wagner College Board of Trustees and a former Seahawk football letter winner.
