THE FACILITY

The Rose Center Athletic Training room is the original facility within the Central Michigan Sports Medicine Department footprint. It houses five offices for full-time athletic trainers and a joint office for the graduate assistant athletic trainers. The Medical Director and Team Physician's offices are located in this space as well as CMU's insurance coordinator.

The facility has two physician exam rooms and physician work area to function as the athletic department's primary medical clinic for student-athletes. This space is centrally located to CMU's facilities for gymnastics, wrestling, volleyball and basketball. The facility includes eight treatment tables, four taping tables, electrical stimulation machines, ultrasound machines and a laser machine, BFR, GameReady, and assortment of recovery tools.

Directly across the hall from the main office is a rehabilitation room that utilizes resistance bands, swiss balls, medicine balls, slide boards, a BOSU ball, stationary bikes, a treadmill, a BAPS board, Dyna-Discs, free weights, and Bodyblade exercise equipment. Additionally, there is a hydrotherapy area with two above-ground tubs that can be shifted from cold and hot temperatures.

The Rose/Ryan Center is named after Dan Rose, who spent 35 years in service to Central Michigan University after arriving on the Mount Pleasant campus in 1937 as an assistant football coach and head baseball and basketball coach. His seven CMU baseball teams were 61-45. His 14 basketball teams won 186 and lost 64. The 1948-49 basketball team was 15-1 and ranked No. 1 in the country. Dan became CMU Athletics Director in 1942, and remained in that capacity until 1972. His .676 winning percentage in basketball is tops in CMU history. A product of Rogers City High, Dan was an outstanding athlete at the University of Michigan in the late 1920s.

The academic wing of the Rose Center is named after Grace E. Ryan Hall, a health and physical education instructor who served for 35 years from 1923-58. The Rose Center remained the hub of both intramural and recreational athletic activity throughout the 1970s and 1980s.
