Live Wec Cam

The Wellness and Events Center, already nicknamed WEC, is a $102 million building that is being constructed on the site of Lubetkin Field at Mal Simon Stadium athletic field. The WEC will extend across the length of the field, which will later be rebuilt on the north side of the building. The construction of WEC, which began in November 2015, will be finished in the fall of 2017.
 

The WEC will accommodate the rapid growth of the school's athletic department, student body, and campus community.  In addition to a number of conference, academic, and community facilities,the building will house a first-class basketball arena, natatorium, locker rooms, indoor track,concessions, suites, offices, and a fitness center.

The 3,500 seat basketball arena will compare favorably with many Division I mid-major facilities throughout the country, allowing NJIT to continue to grow their men's and women's basketball programs.
 

WEC will have many amenities, just some of which include:

• A 25-meter swimming pool with diving area
• A fitness center with cardio equipment and weights
• Lounges, study areas and multipurpose rooms
• An indoor 10,000 square feet turf space
• Two practice courts for intramural and intercollegiate sports
• A running track that will encircle the concourse of the first-floor arena
• The arena will seat 3,500 people, but the bleachers are designed to retract, allowing the floor space in the arena to triple in size.
• The expanded floor space will host campus events and professional conferences
• An inside path on the first floor will allow students to walk from the subway and other areas on Lock Street to the main campus quad
• A 30-foot-wide promenade between Tiernan Hall
• The outside steps and the open space on WEC's northside are designed for students to sit comfortably
• WEC will be three stories high and its north side will be all windows, through which natural light will flood into the building. The tall windows will overlook the new athletic field.
