Holy Family University recently held a ceremonial groundbreaking for its new athletic fieldhouse. The project is slated for completion in December.
The fieldhouse will provide locker rooms for home and visiting teams and officials, public restrooms for students, families and fans, game-day concession stands and an athletic training room.
The site is located between the Stevenson Lane Residence Hall and the Campus Center.
Anne Prisco, HFU president, was joined by athletic director Tim Hamill; Board of Trustees chairman Bill Mandia and vice chairman Jim Bennett; Sister Mary Joan Jacobs, HFU’s faculty-athletics representative; alumni; student-athletes; and aides to state Sen. Jimmy Dillon, Rep. Pat Gallagher and City Councilman Mike Driscoll.
The project will cost $2 million. Dillon and Gallagher secured $500,000, but could not attend the July 11 ceremony, as they were in Harrisburg finalizing the state budget. ••
