Tuesday afternoon's announcement provides the Providence Friars with a state-of-the-art practice facility, due to be completed in Summer 2017.
The Providence College Athletic Department continued their development of facilities Tuesday afternoon, announcing the impending construction of the Ruane Friar Development Center.
Called a "game changer" on the Providence College website, the Center will not only provide athletic upgrades, but will also include renovations to the College's Student Center, as well. Principally, however, the Ruane Development Center will provide the Men's Basketball team a desperately needed practice facility. Currently, both the Friar Men's and Women's Basketball teams share Mullaney Gymnasium at Alumni Hall; the establishment of the practice facility will allow each team their own specific space.
