The nearly $10 million tennis complex is getting a boost. The Comerford Pavillion is almost complete and will add top-notch locker rooms, coaches offices, a recruiting lounge, a conference room and a viewing deck for supporters.
Officials say the Comerford Pavillion project will also house a nutrition center and alumni engagement for tennis matches and events. The facility will serve as the entrance to the "Athletics" side of campus near the Mott Athletics Center and the Recreation Center. [KSBY California]
