Need to rebuild Gillom. I don't know where you would put it though or where you would house the offices and tennis/volleyball courts while you destroy the building and rebuild.

Tennis used Gillom more than anyone really. Any match where it is below a certain degrees or the wind is at a certain MPH or someone spills water on the court they have to go inside.


This may be a ridiculous thought, but why not do a massive overhaul of the Turner Center and make it into a women's facility? Then rebuild a new fitness center over where the Whirpool plant is. You have a huge weight room, nice area for volleyball and potentially tennis, and the offices/locker rooms could be refit for 2016. Plus you are right by the other facilities, rather than down the road a ways. Thoughts?

I like the idea but the soccer office and locker rooms have to stay by the soccer field. IDK why you couldnt build a big building with women's and smaller sports along with UMAA all in the same building. Put it where the Tad Pad is now. You could have Tennis and Volleyball courts on the bottom floor. UMAA on the 2nd floor and Offices on the 3rd floor. There is probably enough room to make it a one story building with all of that if you really wanted too.

They are actually renovating and expanding Gillom. That's why volleyball will be in the Pavilion this year. Supposedly you won't be able to recognize it when it is done. They are suppose to be showing us what it will look like in a the next few weeks.


What are we doing to Swayze?
