Clark Mountaineer Club offers an exclusive premium experience on Mountaineer basketball game days, while also serving as an athletic training table throughout the week for WVU student-athletes.
The area is named after Fred and Linda Clark and their family who gave a gift of $3 million for the club's completion. Clark is a 1974 summa cum laude graduate of West Virginia University and received his juris doctorate from West Virginia University College of Law in 1977.
The Clark Mountaineer Club is located on the concourse level of Hope Coliseum between the Gold Gate and the Mountaineer Gate with its footprint extending onto the Coliseum apron.
The renovations are a significant, 7,200-square foot expansion designed to serve multiple purposes. They include facilities for daily training meals for WVU student-athletes, premium spaces for pregame, in-game, and postgame experiences for Mountaineer Athletic Club members and a banquet area that can accommodate more than 300 people for various events.
The space offers distinct and diverse seating packages tailored to the different functions it serves. The project involved renovating the existing kitchen and concession area to significantly increase its cooking and preparation capacity by more than 150%. The training table food platforms were expanded by more than 200%, allowing for a wider variety of high-performance meals for student-athletes.
An advanced audiovisual system in the space features large video walls, perimeter TV displays, a surround sound speaker setup and wireless microphone systems. Additionally, a new receiving and loading dock area was constructed to facilitate the efficient operation of the club and to provide a direct link to the main concourse of the Coliseum.
The exterior of the expansion utilized a metal panel system and large format blocks, designed to harmonize with previous additions to Hope Coliseum. The design includes angled lines in the metal panels near the top of two protruding sections as an homage to the distinctive folded roof lines of the building.
The facility is open for athletics to generate additional revenue throughout the year and serve as a first-class rental space for events. Alcohol is permitted.
