On Thursday night, Villanova University officially announced the new name for the renovated Pavilion. The new building will be named the William B. Finneran Pavilion!
Several months ago, Finneran made a historic $22.6 million gift to the school to accelerate the much needed remodeling of Villanova’s on-campus arena. Recently, it seemed like Finneran was going to pass on the opportunity to put his name on the building, but this is a great honor to the man who looks like he’s going to bear the most responsibility for making it all possible.
Now we just need a nickname.
