Igneous Rock Gym is housed in a 5,500 sq. ft. warehouse with 35′ high ceilings. The building is broken down into three zones: 600 sq. ft. of locker rooms, 500 sq. ft. of front desk/common area, and the remaining 4,400 sq. ft. is dedicated as the climbing zone. The climbing zone will include two platforms, at 400 sq. ft. each. One will be used for fitness equipment and the second used for group meeting areas. The building has twenty available parking spaces with additional free parking on the street.
This site was chosen due to its location near the University, city center, and easy access from the growing residential area. In addition, the warehouse has an open floor plan with no need for demolition. Other nearby tenants are long-term leaseholders, and their operations will provide added exposure to Igneous Rock Gym.
