At the new 220,000 sq. ft. Wellness and Events Center (WEC) at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), athletes along with the whole campus community are discovering a 21st century facility. Designed and built to help transform NJIT, the WEC is also accelerating the revitalization of the University Heights neighborhood of Newark. Opened fully in the Spring of 2018, the WEC is home to the NJIT Highlanders NCAA Division I athletic program. High-impact 3D athletic marks brand the Highlander offices while wall murals showcase NJIT athletes in action. The graphics also reinforce the Highlanders’ commitment to raising the visibility of NJIT’s scholar-athletes who excel not only on the field, but also in the classroom, research labs and high-tech business incubators.
