Detroit — Built in 1965, the Matthaei Center has been the hub of Wayne State’s athletic campus in midtown Detroit.
There’s a new addition coming.
The Wayne State University Board of Governors unanimously approved a plan Wednesday to build a new $25 million athletic facility on campus that will house its men’s and women’s basketball teams.
The new building will be 70,000 square feet and be located at the corner of Warren and Trumbull, replacing the Matthaei Center as the athletic centerpiece. It will seat 3,000.
Construction could be completed early in 2021.
