The Al J. Schneider Company has committed $3.5 million to the University of Louisville’s Athletic fund. The Al J. Schneider Company was formed in Louisville in 1947 and owns many local hotels, the most iconic being the Galt House Hotel.
The gift from the Schneider Company will be given to the university over the next 10 years. The funds will be funneled into an expansion and renovation of the Planet Fitness Kueber Center. The Kueber Center was built in 2007 and includes training facilities and offices on U of L’s campus for the basketball teams and lacrosse team.
