Slaton's 5,000 s.f. weight room is a state-of-the-art facility for the district's high school athletes, with a heavy-duty cushioned flooring surface and wall protection to protect to prevent accidental damage from the weights.

The monolithic dome structure provides a strong, energy efficient building at a reasonable price and, with its reinforced concrete walls and roof, serves a secondary function as a tornado-resistant storm shelter for the school and the surrounding community.
