Holy Family University recently held a ceremonial groundbreaking for its new athletic fieldhouse. The project is slated for completion in December.
The fieldhouse will provide locker rooms for home and visiting teams and officials, public restrooms for students, families and fans, game-day concession stands and an athletic training room.
The site is located between the Stevenson Lane Residence Hall and the Campus Center.
Anne Prisco, HFU president, was joined by athletic director Tim Hamill; Board of Trustees chairman Bill Mandia and vice chairman Jim Bennett; Sister Mary Joan Jacobs, HFU’s faculty-athletics representative; alumni; student-athletes; and aides to state Sen. Jimmy Dillon, Rep. Pat Gallagher and City Councilman Mike Driscoll.
The project will cost $2 million. Dillon and Gallagher secured $500,000, but could not attend the July 11 ceremony, as they were in Harrisburg finalizing the state budget. [Northeast Times]
A state-of-the-art athletics complex and fulfillment of a long-held dream of faithful supporters opened today at West Texas A&M University. The fully complete Bain Athletic Complex, located on Russell Long Boulevard west of Bain-Schaeffer Buffalo Stadium, opened with a ribbon cutting and tours, capping off a nearly 15-year and $12.5 million project.
"Division II athletics is the best division in intercollegiate athletics for student-athletes," WT President Walter V. Wendler said in prepared remarks. "We have not lost sight of the reason these athletes come to the University: to graduate with a degree so they are better equipped to leave here and be engaged citizens for their family, their employers and their communities. As long as I am president, the 'student' aspect is the highest priority for our athletics programs."
The complex was the dream of Dr. Barbara and the late Dr. Ray Bain, whose family is among WT's most generous supporters. [GoBuffGo.com]
