The HSS Training Center has reached its full height --adding a new floor with a projected 34-foot clearance -- to Building 19 at 168 39th Street in Industry City. It's called "topping off" and its a big milestone for the $45 million training center which is on schedule for opening early next year.
Contractors built the steel framework above the old roof on the building's eighth floor and has been installing the roof panels. After that, electrical work and painting will take place... and baskets will be hung from the ceiling. Once that's done, the old roof will be removed to give the court the full three stories of vertical space, tall enough to accommodate even the highest arching jump shot .
