There are also some offices, locker rooms and workout facilities in the basement. Renovations and upgrades have been made the last decade but the facility's cramped quarters don't compare to the spacious facilities at other Division I schools. School officials aren't even sure how old the building is but it has been estimated to be between 70 to 90 years old. We don't have football but men's basketball and, increasingly, women's is very important for us. It is something alumni have tremendous interest at.
People are excited, they see possibilities here.
As I like to say, the Old Gym is old. The consulting firm provided analysis for Marquette about the new facility and those results are being reviewed by university officials and will be shared with the university's board of trustees next month, the university said. When the campaign goes public, MU will actively seek donations. Appeared in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on Aug. 30, 2000. Journal Sentinel Inc. All rights reserved.
