The Board of Regents approved the start of a renovation of Hofheinz Pavilion on Thursday in its monthly meeting and announced an anonymous donation of $20 million that will help in the renovation costs.
The total project budget is set at $60 million.
“It’s a huge deal for our men’s and women’s basketball programs,” Vice President for Intercollegiate Athletics Hunter Yurachek said. “Now with the gorgeous practice facility we have (and the completed, renovated Hofheinz Pavilion)…three years from now, that’s another game changer, not only for our men’s and women’s basketball programs but for our entire University and our fans, the die-hard fan base that we have.
