Thompson-Boling Arena Basketball Locker Room Campaign
With the beginning of basketball season, we thought this would be a great opportunity to mention one of the UT Athletic Department’s top priorities for upcoming facility projects. Those of you who attended the Vol Rep Training Camp in August remember the announcement of plans to renovate the men’s and women’s basketball locker rooms. The rendering shown above is a first draft for the potential layout of the project, including the new orientation of the locker rooms, a hydrotherapy room, staff rooms, and equipment and player lounges that are part of the early plans. The renovation project is projected to cost $5-6 million and will be contingent, like every UTAD facility project, on private support from donors who wish to support the project. If you would like more information on how to get involved and help carry on the tradition of Vol and Lady Vol Basketball, please contact Lucas Moss at lmoss6@utk.edu or call 865-974-9168.
Tennessee Fund Day 2012 Tennessee Fund Donor Appreciation Day took place this past weekend before the UT v. Missouri football game in Thompson -Boling Arena. The event included free BBQ provided by Buddy’s BBQ, inflatable games, and the opportunity to get autographs from student-athletes and coaches. Tennessee legend Gus Manning made a special appearance, and Vice Chancellor/Director of Athletics Dave Hart and Associate Athletic Director for Development Greg Hulen shared a few words to express thanks and gratitude for all the continued support that our Tennessee Fund members provide for our student athletes.
