BUILDING THE FUTURE

The 46,000 square-foot CAP will enable AU student-athletes to elevate their competitive performance and it will also expand recreation, fitness, and community-building opportunities for the entire AU community. Centrally located in the heart of campus, these enhanced facilities will provide all students with resources and spaces to learn lifelong skills, further a sense of belonging on campus, foster physical and mental well-being, and build capacity to thrive in an increasingly complex world.

The Meltzer Center For Athletic Performance (The CAP) will be the first new construction in over 30 years dedicated to the Athletics and Recreation Departments’ mission on campus.
 
As a new, state-of-the-art facility, The CAP will serve as a catalyst to recruit and retain world-class student-athletes and inspire increased competitive excellence and institutional pride throughout the AU community. 

 ONCE AN EAGLE, 

ALWAYS AN EAGLE

 Private support toward the The CAP is needed to ensure its completion and long-term success. This new facility will have an extraordinary impact on every AU student’s experience, enhance the university’s national profile, and heighten alumni and community engagement.

We hope you will fly high alongside our Eagles and join as a contributor to The CAP.  To discover the ways your financial support can have the greatest impact, please contact Lindsey Campbell in AU Athletics at LindseyC@American.edu
