DECEMBER 9, 2024 — UTSA Athletics will break ground on its 53,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art Basketball and Volleyball Training Facility on Wednesday, December 18.
The facility, which will be completed at a cost of more than $35 million, will be located next to the Roadrunner Athletics Center of Excellence on Barshop Blvd. and will house the daily operations of the UTSA men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball programs.
It will feature two full-sized NCAA practice courts, locker rooms and a team lounge for each program, a weight room, an athletic training/hydrotherapy space, team meeting rooms and coaches’ offices for each of the three programs.
The Basketball and Volleyball Training Facility is part of a partnership with Bexar County and the City of San Antonio, each of which is investing $5 million to the project. As part of the construction process, there is a funding agreement similar to the Roadrunner Athletics Center for Excellence and the Park West Fieldhouse.
“We are thrilled to break ground on the Basketball and Volleyball Training Facility,” said Lisa Campos, UTSA Vice President for Intercollegiate Athletics. “This will be a difference-maker for all of our student-athletes in these three sports, providing them with 24-hour access to practice courts, in addition to state-of-the-art locker rooms, team lounges and strength & conditioning facilities. I want to thank Dr. Eighmy for his unwavering support, along with the City of San Antonio, Bexar County, the donors and everyone who has contributed to making this facility a reality.”
Those speaking at the groundbreaking include:
The architect for the project is Populous. Skanska USA Inc is the construction firm.
