A state-of-the-art training complex and sports performance clinic will come up at Miami Gardens, Fla. The Miami Dolphins has announced the extension of a multiyear partnership with Baptist Health to construct the same.

The $135 million training complex named Baptist Health Training Complex will open in Spring 2021. The Miami Dolphins enjoys decades-long relationship with Baptist Health and the multiyear partnership is an extension of the same.

Baptist Health is the Official Sports Medicine Provider-cum-Official Wellness Provider of the professional American football team.

The 217,200 square feet complex (125,000 sq. feet training facility and 92,200 sq feet indoor field) is more than 50,000 square feet larger than the team’s current facility.

The Baptist Health Training Complex will accommodate an innovation hub for new technology, spatial computing and a walkthrough space, a state-of-the-art hydrotherapy area, fuel bar, dedicated recovery area including cryotherapy and isolation tanks, an athletic training room with expansive rehabilitation space, meeting rooms with direct access to the fields, fan amenities and a broadcast area.
