George Mason Breaks Ground on Basketball Performance Center

The groundbreaking ceremony brought together university leadership, student-athletes, alumni, supporters, community partners, and donors to celebrate the next phase of a project that reflects George Mason's continued investment in competitive excellence and holistic student-athlete development.
