Santa Clara University

Stephen C. and Patricia A. Schott Athletic Excellence Center

Introducing the home of the next generation of Olympians, All-Americans, World Champions and Hall of Fame athletes from Santa Clara University. Made possible by lead funding of $15 million from Stephen C. ’60 and Patricia A. Schott, and $10 million from Mary ’84 and Mark Stevens, the Stephen C. and Patricia A. Schott Athletic Excellence Center is a state-of-the-art facility for Bronco student-athletes that broke ground in April 2019 and opened in the fall of 2022.

The $37 million, 50,000-square-foot building, which was announced in November 2018, and approved by the school's Board of Trustees in February 2019, provides Santa Clara University student-athletes dedicated space to work out, train, practice, eat and study together— while also opening up much-needed facility options for events and for all students participating in club and intramural sports. The two-story facility features the 4,200-square-foot Stevens Academic Center, the 9,000-square-foot Bronco Bench Foundation Sports Performance Center, an 8,000-square-foot sports medicine center, the William J. and Pamela G. Connolly Fuel Station (nutrition center) and two practice gymnasiums - Dick Davey Court and Carroll Williams Court.
