Pavilion Updates Ready to Go for 2019 Season
8/7/2019 12:55:00 PM | Volleyball
Golden Gopher Athletics is proud to announce that the Maturi Pavilion facility upgrades will be completed by the start of the 2019 season. The Robert K. Eddy Athletic Performance Center is scheduled to be finished by Aug. 23, while new air conditioning is fully functional and ready to go for the season.
The renovated space on the lower level provides student-athletes direct access from the competition court to strength training, athletic medicine, a nutrition station and hydrotherapy pools. The strength area includes over 2,300 square feet, which also connects to the player lounge, team room, locker room, all adjacent to the court. The student-athlete area equals over 2,200 square feet.
With a lead commitment from Robert K. Eddy as well as contributions from dozens of other benefactors, the project went from dream to reality in just under a year. The Robert K. Eddy Athletic Performance Center was a privately funded $4 million project. The total Maturi Pavilion upgrades were $5.1 million.
"We are so grateful for Mr. Eddy's kindness and the generosity of all donors," volleyball head coach Hugh McCutcheon said. "This is a significant step forward for our program and we're excited to work in our new space."
The upper level will include coaches' rooms as well as a club room for fans. An additional 48 premium seats were added to overlook game day action, while serving food and beverages.
"The Robert K. Eddy Athletic Performance Center will provide our students with a world-class facility to train and rehab," said Athletics Director Mark Coyle. "It's the next step in the evolution of our program, and one that our students will benefit greatly from. This project, like other recent improvements, was privately financed. I want to thank all of our donors who contributed to the performance center and especially want to recognize Bob. We are grateful for their generous support."
