SCORE THE FLOOR
Score the Floor is part of an ongoing strategic initiative to enhance the health
and well-being of Triangle student-athletes and all who use our facility. The
project involved a substantial capital improvement the centerpiece of which is a
retrofit of our existing playing surface with an orthopedic floating subfloor.
Installation of the subfloor required over
900 pieces of plywood, nearly 14,000 NeoShoks™, and 700 hours of volunteer labor. Its completion was celebrated on August
23rd with a dedication and grafitti party. With its superior ability to absorb impact, this technology in combination
with our existing Mateflex ProGYM™ flooring will greatly reduce fatigue and the
risk of injury, placing Triangle on par with the nation's finest volleyball
facilities.
