UCLA Announces Wasserman Football Center &
Mo Ostin Basketball Center Groundbreaking

UCLA will hold an official groundbreaking ceremony for both the Wasserman Football Center and Mo Ostin Basketball Center on Thursday, August 27, less than two years removed from campaign announcements to raise private funds for the separate, comprehensive football and basketball training facilities.
As a result of the generosity and leadership of alumni, fans and friends from across the country, work on the much-anticipated on-campus training and performance facilities will begin in mid-August, ahead of schedule.

The new Wasserman Football Center will be a multi-level structure located at the west end of Spaulding Field. Highlights of the new building design include:

  • Grand Entryway with Prominent Displays and Tribute Space Honoring Current and Former UCLA Football Student-Athletes
  • Football-Specific Strength and Conditioning Center and Training Rooms
  • State-of-the-Art Locker Room and Players’ Lounge
  • Recruiting Lounge and Outdoor Terrace
  • Brand New Equipment Room
  • Coaches’ Offices
  • Spacious Team Meeting Rooms


The benefits to the Football program are obvious.

Players will have unrestricted access to state-of-the art, football-specific equipment and training. For the first time, their strength training facility will be adjacent to their practice field. Student-athletes will have their own lounge and meeting spaces where they can build camaraderie and trust. Similarly, the coaches’ offices will be upgraded, near each other, and adjacent to the players’ facilities.

Such improvements will drive recruiting and retention of both players and coaches. Building on Coach Mora’s success these past three seasons, the planned construction will raise the caliber of the football team’s operational structure to match that of the players and the individuals who support, train and lead them.

“This is an exciting project that will continue to propel UCLA football forward by allowing our coaches and student-athletes to teach, learn and develop in a state-of-the-art facility."
