UB President Satish Tripathi said at the field house groundbreaking ceremony on Oct. 7 that the field house will be open to all students. However, the field house will only be available for athletes on Division I, club and intramural teams, according to an official statement from UB Athletics.
Athletics is overseeing construction of the $18 million Murchie Family Fieldhouse, which is set to finish in spring 2019.
“It will house the all-around student experience in terms of recreation activities, so not just student-athletes, but the entire university actually,” Tripathi said at the ceremony.
UB Athletic Director Allen Greene said the general student body would be able to use the field house.
