"This building provides the best training facilities in the country – state-of-the-art equipment all designed to ensure the health and safety of our student-athletes, to improve those student-athletes' experience here in Westwood, and, of course, to allow them to be at the top of their game and to reach their highest potential," stated UCLA Athletic Director Dan Guerrero. "Simply put, the Wasserman Football Center will help them shape their future and the future of UCLA Athletics."
At the Aug. 1, 2017 opening, Wasserman, the President and CEO of the Wasserman Foundation, said, "It's an honor to be able to have our name on this building. I think athletics is underestimated as a way to change people's lives. To be able to bring young student-athletes to this university, expose them to this university through their skill and their passion … their success in life will not necessarily come from being athletes; it will come from being Bruins."
Donor name recognition space is still available in the Wasserman Football Center. To learn more, visit UCLAFootballFacility.com.
