Kennesaw State has completed the schematic design phase for the Wellstar Champions Complex, a planned football facility intended to strengthen recruiting, streamline daily operations and support player development. The project is part of the university’s broader athletics investment alongside the Wellstar Center for Sports Excellence.

By the Numbers
  • The Champions Complex is planned to cover 55,000 square feet.
  • The Wellstar Center for Sports Excellence will span 24,000 square feet.
  • The Champions Complex is expected to be ready for move-in in fall 2027; the sports excellence center is scheduled for completion in early 2028.
Yes, But

The published images are conceptual renderings, not final designs, so the facility’s appearance may change as planning advances.

State of Play
  • The Champions Complex is designed to include football locker rooms, coaching offices, training and academic spaces, and operational areas.
  • The separate sports excellence center will serve all Kennesaw State student-athletes, with resources including strength training, mental health and sports medicine.
  • The university says the facilities are intended to improve recruiting and retention, athlete support and access between football operations and practice and game sites.
What's Next

Design and project updates are expected as the facilities move toward their projected openings. Kennesaw State also says its partnership with Wellstar will support sports science resources and research.

Bottom Line

Kennesaw State is investing in facilities and athlete services to strengthen its football program and broader athletics operation, but the announced designs remain conceptual and the projects are still years from completion.
