Facility Friday: URI Basketball, Va. Tech Weight Room and More

Jason Scott Headshot

The University of Rhode Island announced that it had received a $3 million gift to support the improvement of the school’s men’s and women’s basketball training facilities. The gift is the largest piece of the $8 million plan, which will see URI’s West Gymnasium transform into a practice facility that will provide student-athletes with a dedicated practice facility. Currently, the programs practice at the Thomas M. Ryan Center, and have to coordinate practice times with a schedule of concerts and community events. The new facility will provide student-athletes with 24-hour access. — Today.URI.edu
