Woodward Center

Woodward Center, Horace Mann Administration Building, Juniper Park Elementary School, and Landsdowne (an off-campus, apartment-style living resident hall) are the only campus buildings that are not part of the main campus. Landesdowne is more in downtown Westfield while Woodward and Horace Mann are just a ten minute walk down the road. Juniper Park I will talk about a little later on.

Woodward Center is where the football, baseball, softball, and track field are located, along with intramural sports. Inside the building is a basketball court, volleyball court, indoor track, and a rock-climbing wall. It is also home to the second wellness center - remember the first one is in Ely. Woodward is home to the Athletic Training and Movement Science Leisure Studies Departments.

I currently have a class in Woodward since one of my general education classes is Intro to Exercise Science and I was really not excited about having to walk down to Woodward and back three times a week. What if it's snowing? What if it's cold? What if it's raining? I had already decided in my mind that it would suck, but I actually don't mind it as much as I initially thought. It's about a half-mile one way from my resident hall so walking to class and back is a mile walk, which I am totally okay with. I'm not exactly an athletic type of girl. Do I play sports? Yes. Do I like to participate? Yeah. Would I rather lay in bed reading a good book than go outside and play ball? Absolutely. I personally like the little bit of exercise it takes to walk to class every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and honestly, the walk is not bad at all.
