The Department of Athletics at Texas Southern University, (TSU) an HBCU located in Houston, Texas hosted a ribbon cutting for its new Athletic Strength and Conditioning Facility.
The 6,600 square foot facility, which is located behind Alexander Durley Stadium on the Texas Southern campus, features new state-of-the-art weights and weight machines, offices for strength and conditioning staff, and additional space for physical therapy and other services to support student-athletes.
“It gives us the opportunity to compete with anybody,” said Vice President for Intercollegiate Athletics Dr. Kevin Granger. “One of the things that these new student-athletes are checking out is your facilities. So, when you don’t have top notch facilities, a lot of times they’re not going to come to your school. Now when we have recruits visit our campus, we can bring them into facilities that will match up with anybody’s in the state.” [HBCU Gameday]
As we work towards building the first major on-campus construction project in 12 years, I want to mention that you never get a second chance to make a first impression.

The Knoxville Alumni Association now owns Ken Locke Stadium after the Knoxville Community School Board approved selling the abandoned stadium to them.
Now, the association is focusing on how to improve the 85-year-old stadium to make it a community space.
“It’s a part of our history. Memories of football games here, but also just a sense of community. This is where I hung out with my friends. This is where we won several games. This is where we just got together on a Friday night. I can still hear the announcer’s voice in my, in my head,” said Kevin Stittsworth, a member of the Knoxville Alumni Association “And so to me, you know, I was taking it to the next level and turning it into a community space that we can allow other generations, future generations, to just enjoy and make their own memories.” [WHO 13]
