WSU 's football operations building
Washington State University dreamed and spent big on its football operations building in the hope that the lavish facility will help the Cougars compete with their better-financed opponents. The football team will eat, dress, lift weights, train and receive medical attention in the $61 million, five-story, 84,192-square-foot facility, which stands behind Martin Stadium’s west end zone. Take a photo tour of this facility.
