The first-class facility provides the student-athletes a space to train and improve at a high level during the winter months in the Inland Northwest.
"Gonzaga has a rich tradition as one of the best baseball programs on the west coast and we are honored to support the Program," donor Scott Morris said. "This facility will continue to help Gonzaga compete on a national basis."
The new locker room is nearly 4,000 square feet and the training facility has 11,500 square feet of new space. After renovations, the upgraded complex will have over 35,000 square feet of space. [GoZags.com]

Glen and Sherry Thomet graciously donated $1 million to kick off fundraising for a new athletics fieldhouse at the school’s Klamath Falls campus.
The project will include an 8,500-square-foot building offering indoor practice for student-athletes during all seasons.
“The new fieldhouse at Oregon Tech will help our student-athletes train and practice indoors, away from bad weather,” said Oregon Tech athletic director John Van Dyke. “It will give them a year-round place to gather and work on their skills, and the Thomet’s gift is a crucial launch of this project and is greatly appreciated.” [KOBI 5]
