The construction included a geothermal heat exchanger field consisting of 154 wells drilled 300 feet deep. One of the most interesting aspects of construction was the process of the geothermal system, which utilizes the earth's temperature to assist with heating and cooling the building by means of the geothermal heat exchanger field, an interior loop piping system and 65 water source heat pumps. Other interests include the climbing wall, two state-of-the-art overhead volleyball systems that raise and lower from the steel roof trusses and the way in which all of the gym equipment is controlled (via keypad).
