It’s been just over a year since the $100 million campaign for athletic facilities was announced. And over the last year, there have been a few milestones reached, including a few significant gifts. There was even a ceremonial groundbreaking in November.
But what’s actually going on now.
Athletic Director Pat Hobbs, Deputy Sarah Baumgartner, and lead architect Scott Schiamberg took to a live Facebook presentation to explain just that. In an email to the R Big Build Captains, there were several points mentioned that Hobbs would cover, and that he would also take questions from viewers:
- Timeline for the RWJBarnabas Health Athletic Performance Center (APC) and when construction will begin
- How the architects worked with the coaches to find their specific program needs within the facilities
- How to become a Big Ten Build Captain
- What other athletic facilities have Perkins Eastman designed
We followed along and here’s a synopsis of the presentation.
