As the temperatures are starting to drop in Chicago, Loyola’s newest athletics complex — the Alfie Norville Practice Facility — is going up.
The $18.5 million project will give the basketball and volleyball teams an elite practice facility and is still on schedule to be finished in summer 2019, according to Loyola Athletics director Steve Watson. Allan Norville, who played basketball at Loyola from 1956-59 and graduated in 1960, contributed a majority of the $18.5 million and the name is in honor of his wife, Alfie.
Watson said he’s excited about the progress that’s been made on the practice facility and doesn’t foresee any setbacks which would prevent it from being completed on schedule.
