The state-of-the-art Thorntons Academic Center of Excellence houses academic operations and provides a central location for all student-athletes and academic staff, further assisting UofL student-athletes to excel in the classroom.
The over 40,000-square-foot center features tutorial areas, a high-performance training table to feed the student-athletes, computer laboratories, and office and classroom space that will serve over 750 student-athletes across the Cardinals’ 23 sports on a daily basis. A massive artistic video wall greets visitors upon entry in the Republic Bank Atrium and segmented spaces throughout the facility are numerous. The 204-seat auditorium is equipped with an 18.5 feet by 10.5 feet screen and projection system.
The facility, which opened in August of 2016, is located beneath the Norton Terrace at the south end of the Cardinal Stadium.
