When does it officially open? What happens to the old facility? Why did they not think to put some windows in the new one, it looks like a dungeon.

Where's my popcorn, this is going to be good......
Why do people think there aren’t windows? So weird.
I Haven't seen anything on the inside but driving by it looks like a shit load of windows
Don’t say stuff like this because now there are people on the board who will think the windows are only on the outside.

If you can’t comprehend the building has more than 1 wall you have what my wife refers to as a “kid brain.”
Edit: Having seen your posting history over the years, this tracks.
not everything has to be a fight... maybe try to go every other post without bashing someone??? something to try??
Is your wife also a narcissist? How does that work under one roof?
Let me take a stab at it!!!
It is the GREATEST WRESTLING FACILITY maybe ever made, but certainly at any University!!!

well i guess i do see what people are saying. I am still going to wait until its completely open to judge.
The black mats/walls don't help with the "dungeon" look. For example, PSU's room looks way brighter because it has a lot of white on the mats and walls. I don't think it has windows to the outside, but could be wrong.
Windows to let in natural light would have been nice sure, but nobody should be worrying about this. It's not that important.

All the photos have that dingy look. I'd chalk it up to an amateur photographer or even a filter given consistency of all pics.
Maybe they paid extra to get that Death Star vibe going.

because some people said it on twitter so they just repeat it for eternity
I dont think practices are open to watch, even from windows. Is there any windows in the current facility? Ive only been there a few times but I dont remember windows in the practice area. I think the men BB practice directly across from the wrestling and I dont think they had windows for practice.

Did you look at the post? It shows
Actually sunlight is very important. Maybe the Brands would be less moody with more sun exposure?
Some yellow mats like they had here would have brightened it up a bit.Here’s the design page. The room does have windows on the opposite side of the photos, except those are viewing windows from what appear to be offices.Iowa Wrestling Training Facility | Neumann Monson Architects

Who gives a shit if Penn State has white walls? My man cave garage has black walls and it's glorious. Some people bitch about wet dreams.. Always keep your glasses half full! Ignore the sheep.
The only practice facility I can recall having windows, was in a living room.
Oh shut up.
Michigan, Cornell, tOSU, azerbaijan - gorgeous, multimillion dollar facilities with natural lighting.
If there really aren't windows with natural lighting (which none of the renderings, or images thus far have shown) - it makes very little sense in 2024
Maybe? Wow. All those caps and exclamation marks for "Maybe the best facility."
Bitter party of one, your table is now available.
LOL. Not bitter. I don't have to wrestle in the room.
But you have to admit... it's fugging WEIRD.
The wrestling room is in the same level as the floor of Carver connected by tunnel.
Above the room and at ground level will be the museum or at least the history of Iowa wrestling.
Lack of windows has not been an issue while in current room.
I would imagine the choice was do they want windows or do they want to be connected to Carver.
They chose being connected to Carver.

OMG no windows! Don't worry, David Taylor will put some in himself when you get Tom and Terry fired
There will be glass… But I was hoping for a glass roof and top floor made of glass to let in light and keep out prying/lying eyes.
Thanks for adding to my knowledge base. I was unaware of those facilities having windows. However, since you mentioned Azerbaijan, I do recall seeing more windows in the old Soviet Union in videos, mostly up high on the wall and some at street level.
The living room was a lighthearted comment. As elementary kids a lot of the gray and bald guys on here received our introduction to wrestling on carpet. The ol rug burn days if you will.
Yeah. I remember the (literal) broom closet i started my wrestling career in. and the walls painted black.
Obviously didn't know any different or cared. But some sunlight would have been nice looking back. LOL
How can wrestlers nowadays possibly wrestle with no ONatural Light??? Blasphemy I say, how dare they design such crap!
god knows you can't walk down a flight of steps to get to the tunnel....then you could have both!!!!!
Sunlight helps vitamin D. Vitamin D deficiency leads to brittle bones and muscle weakness. We’ve solved why the Iowa wrestlers are always injured and look less muscular than other teams!
It's almost like you were to busy focusing on wrestling to care about sunlight 🤔
