Transforming Athletics and Student Life – Bear Mountain will be home to new outdoor athletic facilities, enhancing the student-athlete experience, expanding recruitment opportunities, and elevating UPIKE’s athletic programs.
Outdoor Recreation and Future Growth – With long-term plans for additional facilities and outdoor spaces, Bear Mountain will serve as a hub for student activities, wellness initiatives, and future university expansion.
Investing in the Region’s Future – This bold initiative underscores UPIKE’s commitment to regional development, providing opportunities for economic growth, community partnerships, and an enhanced quality of life for Central Appalachia.
