The former Iler Weight Room was revitalized with transformative gifts from Longwood graduates Brad Pomp ’92 and Shannon Nunnally Pomp ’93 and the Bank of the James and rededicated as the Pomp Sports Performance Center on Sept. 26, 2025.

New rubber flooring, including inlaid Olympic lifting platforms, provide a solid and durable foundation for all methods of weight training, plyometrics, agility training and more. A new HVAC system controls the climate, ensuring the center's ability to host workouts year-round. The facility also received an aesthetic makeover, complete with large-scale Longwood marquees, new lighting and audio-visual equipment, and Longwood blue and white paint from the floor to the ceiling.

At the heart of the Pomp Sports Performance Center, though, is a collection of top-of-the-line, modular Sorinex weight training equipment that allows Longwood student-athletes to engage in numerous training methods specific to their sport — from endurance to speed, power and explosiveness. With lifting stations to support dozens of athletes at a time, the space can accommodate Longwood's largest teams or multiple teams at once.
