OMAHA – Creighton University men's basketball head coach Greg McDermott will soon have a building with his name on it.
On Thursday, June 20, at the men's basketball practice facility, University leadership, donors, friends and fans will dedicate the McDermott Center, named for Coach McDermott and his family. The new name comes almost exactly 10 years after the facility opened.
Formerly known as the Championship Center, the $13 million, 42,000-square-foot facility opened its doors to great fanfare in the summer of 2014. More than 500 donors contributed to the building's construction, with a lead gift from longtime Creighton supporters Ruth and Bill Scott.
