CREATING A COMPETITIVE EDGE AND ENSURING WELL-BEING FOR THE CARROLL COMMUNITY A much-needed addition and renovation of Van Male Field House is anticipated to accommodate a rise in the number of student-athletes on campus. Originally built when the number of students participating in intercollegiate athletics at Carroll was approximately half of the 630 student-athletes who compete today, Van Male needs an expansion to meet our present training requirements. This addition will include two multipurpose courts consisting of netting that can be lowered from the ceiling to accommodate activities like batting and pitching practice for baseball and softball while allowing for indoor practice court space for men’s and women’s tennis, volleyball and basketball. In addition, a stateof-the-art weight training facility and aerobic exercise facility will be added. While all these spaces will be used by student-athletes, these facilities will also be open for intramural use and use by the general student population, faculty and staff. Additionally, some renovations of other spaces in the building are anticipated, including a new Alumni Suite that will be available for alumni gatherings during basketball and football games and for entertaining prospective students and their families. There are several naming opportunities in this project that will help the University complete the renovation of this facility. THE CAMPAIGN FOR CARROLL PIONEER DRIVEN THE CAMPAIGN FOR CARROLL 12
