Olivet College has received a $150,000 grant from the Frederick S. Upton Foundation in St. Joseph, which will enable the college to renovate and upgrade its Frederick S. Upton Center natatorium. The grant will provide the college $50,000 each year for three years.

The Upton Center natatorium and adjacent locker rooms were built in 1980. During the three-year renovation, the college plans to modernize the locker rooms and showers, as well as replace the pool’s drain system. The natatorium will also receive a state-of-the-art timing scoreboard system.

The college’s men’s and women’s swimming and diving programs have seen tremendous success during the past few years, including the men’s program winning the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association swimming and diving championships the last two seasons.
