Right on the Rock River, this former power plant is now the Beloit College Powerhouse: a student union and athletic facility.

The Turbine Hall has it all: places to study and socialize, sit-down and grab-n-go food from Hamilton’s, and a running track spanning overhead.

A pool table is just one of many activities available throughout the Powerhouse.

The eight-lane swimming pool is fully equipped for competitive swimming & diving as well as recreational use.

Not just for play, the Powerhouse also has spaces for classes to meet.

The newly renovated powerplant now houses our student union and athletic center. It’s where our artists, athletes, and every one of our multi-hyphenate Beloiters in between meet, eat, play, and practice.

The 120,000-square-foot facility features theater, classroom, and meeting spaces. There’s also a running track, 8-lane competition swimming pool, and plenty of other areas to work out and rest up.

Until renowned architect and MacArthur Fellow Jeanne Gang of Studio Gang transformed the space, it was what you might expect - an electric power generator.

The Powerhouse is a first-of-its-kind facility in the country - preserving a historical building while combining student life spaces and recreational facilities.

A student union and an athletic facility, featuring stunning architecture.
