Wittich Hall

All classes will be held in Wittich Hall on the UW-L campus. Wittich Hall (1916), the original physical education building on campus, houses faculty and staff offices, gymnasiums, a track, multipurpose and meeting rooms, a Strength Training Center, a therapeutic/rehabilitation swimming pool, the Musculoskeletal Research Center, the Special Populations Exercise Program, the Leisure Lifestyle Research and Service Center, and special equipment areas. The building has been renovated for extensive use in the preparation of special/adapted physical education teachers and therapeutic recreation specialists.

The building is the primary practice site for the Women's Intercollegiate Athletics Gymnastics team. In addition, Wittich Hall hosts many community service and continuing education offerings such as youth sport programs in gymnastics and swimming, leisure counseling, and special populations exercise and motor development programs.

Wittich Hall, the Physical Education Building of the La Crosse State Normal School, was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on April 11, 1985. A metal plaque is installed at the southeast entrance to the building to acknowledge this designation.
