In Seattle, the University of Washington will break ground on its new high-performance basketball center in June.
The $60 million project is fully donor funded, with over $1 million coming from Husky basketball legends and alumni. 
The training facility is expected to be completed in August 2025.
The equity-centric focus of the project is emphasized through the creation of two 9,800 square-foot practice courts.
The new home for Husky basketball will include an incredible skywalk viewing area above the courts for recruits, fans and families to watch practices, and a welcoming foyer that will highlight legendary moments and players from the programs' history.
Canucks Sports & Entertainment have announced the third phase of Rogers Arena building improvements, which emphasizes improving the fan experience throughout the arena.
The latest phase of the $150 million investment into arena upgrades over the next two summers includes replacing all lower and upper bowl seating with new custom-designed black seats that include cupholders.

- Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge and the Tiger Athletic Foundation are going ahead with plans to build a new, best-in-class arena for sports and entertainment. In order for that to happen, developers have to be assured that they won't be competing with the River Center to book acts, so TAF has asked the Metro Council to enter into an agreement that would restrict the kind of events held there, including any concerts or shows that exceed 3,500 attendees.
- New York City Department of Parks & Recreation broke ground last month on the $92 million Mary Cali Dalton Recreation Center in Tompkinsville, Staten Island.
