Members of the Missouri Baptist University community joined together for the official groundbreaking of the brand new Spartan Sports and Recreation Complex on Tuesday, April 6, 2010.
Though work began over the winter, MBU campus officials celebrated the official groundbreaking on a beautiful Spring day alongside MBU faculty, staff, students, board members, and friends. The groundbreaking also marked the beginning of construction of Spartan Village, a new residential community

The new 47,000 square feet, Sports and Recreation Complex will include a 1,000 seat gymnasium, a suspended indoor track, locker rooms, a concession area in Spartan Hall, an expanded training and fitness center, new classrooms, offices for faculty and coaching staff, and will house Missouri Baptist University's Health and Sports Sciences division.
