Athletic Community Center

New Construction

Entire Building

2025 Outstanding Project

The Governor Mifflin School District Athletic Community Center (GMACC) is a vision conceived by and for the community. The new building stands adjacent to the stadium on the secondary school campus, shared with the middle and high schools, and the District’s Education Center. The existing physical education spaces in the middle and high schools were relocated to the new facility, which allows the previous gymnasium and locker rooms to be transformed to other next-generation learning programs.

GMACC houses the District’s main competition gym with a seating capacity of 2,000. Support spaces include standard locker and team rooms and a running track around the perimeter of the upper level of the gymnasium. The second-floor houses the wrestling room for practices, a multi-purpose room that can accommodate anything from meetings and physical education classes to sports training, and a public fitness room. A sports medicine training room is strategically located at the main gymnasium entrance with an exterior entrance directly adjacent to the stadium for treating sports injuries.

Central to the community, the school district offers many services to the public that the new athletic community center further enhances. The GMACC serves as a beacon for the community.
