Phase one of the new Athletic Performance Research Center will be substantially smaller than originally planned.
Men’s lacrosse coach Joe Amplo and women’s lacrosse coach Meredith Black could have easily felt disappointed after the announcement of the new Athletic Performance Research Center. The size of the first phase will hardly be 20 percent of the original plans and excludes a state-of-the-art indoor lacrosse field.
Instead, both coaches are ecstatic about what the $24 million, 50,000 square foot facility will include: locker rooms and support facilities for both teams.
“It’s a very big upgrade for us,” Amplo said.
