One of Butler’s biggest draws for a potential recruit for men’s and women’s basketball or volleyball is the chance to play in historic Hinkle Fieldhouse.
The 91-year-old building has a rich history of hosting Butler basketball, an NBA team, presidential speeches and more. But to keep Hinkle up to current-day standards, it needed to undergo some maintenance.
The university began the $10.5 million dollar renovation in the spring of 2019.
“It is imperative that we continuously invest in preserving Hinkle’s historic nature, while enhancing the great facility for the competitive realities of today,” Butler President James Danko said in a spring press release.
