                            Atlantic Health Training Center

   The Atlantic Health Jets Training Center in Florham Park. N.J. is the headquarters of the New York Jets.(New York Jets Jerseys)

   The team moved into the facility in a formal ribbon-cutting ceremony on September 2, 2008. Located at One Jets Drive, this 224,000 square-foot complex is surrounded by nearly 100 acres of open space and provides players, coaches and staff of the Jets with a state-of-the-art learning, practice and working environment. The facility is a short drive to MetLife Stadium and to Newark Liberty International Airport and Morristown Medical Center.

    Woody Johnson hired world-renox%ned architecture firm, Skidmnore Owings + Merrill and outlined three key objectives in the design of the training facility. First, as the first true corporate headquarters for the team, the new training center needed to represent the beginning of a new era for the Jets.Previously, the Jets business and football operations were located in separate multi-tenant buildings more than 30 miles apart. The Atlantic Health Jets Training Center is a modem, glass and steel building that seamlessly combines the operations of football and business departments. Serving as the homebase for the entire Jets organization, it is equipped with open-concept workstations and state-of-the-art technology to create an efficient and friendly work environment. The training center was a major contributing factor in the team being named one of hnc. Magazine's Top Small Company Workplaces in 20 10. An outdoor terrace, which overlooks the practice fields, provides a business entertainment area for both the team and its corporate partners.

    Second, the training and medical facilities had to be state-of-the-art, combining the latest advances in rehabilitation pools, high-performance equipment and nutrition. The complex has five full-size football fields; three natural grass, one Sportexe synthetic turf field outdoors, and another in the Field House, each with a permanent scoreboard. The goalposts on two of the natural grass fields can be repositioned 90 degrees in order to minimize wear on the grass.Inside the complex, the first floor is dedicated to one-hundred yards of football along the "Players Gallery", consisting of a life-size super-panoramic photo of cheering Jets fans that serves as a daily reminder of the tremendous support the Jets receive from our faithful fans. In addition, the first level
features a 5,500-square-foot locker room, an 11,000-square-foot weight room, and a 10,000 square foot cafeteria.

    Third, the training center needed to be a "graduate school for football." Players and coaches actually spend more time in the classrooms than on the football fields themselves. To that end, there is over 25,000 square feet of space dedicated to classrooms and instruction space - including 10 classrooms and two individual study rooms for video study. The classroom atrium is located at just steps from the practice fields, with direct access to either the indoor or outdoor fields.
In June of 2011, the team announced that Atlantic Health Jets Training Center would be the site of the team's 2011 Training Camp, the first tune the headquarters has hosted training camp activities. The Atlantic Health Jets Training Center is evidence of the team's commitment to excellence, providing the organization with a new competitive advantage and a new community to call home.
