The Hamel Rec Center which is connected to the Whittemore Center underwent a multi-million dollar renovation in 1995, converting the former Snively Arena to the 104,425 square foot facility it is today. Although the facility has three levels, the team uses the top two floors for practices. The top floor sports three basketball courts with high ceilings and dividers. The team normally has one divider down, which leaves enough space for a full infield on one side, while using the other side for hitting pitching. The most common hitting drills used in the Rec Center are different variations of soft-toss and doing tee work. The team has a portable mound that the pitchers use to throw bullpen sessions during practice. The team also uses the second level which consists of a track to do conditioning and work on speed and agility.
