Washburn University will celebrate the completion of major renovations to Whiting Field House during a public ribbon cutting at 2 p.m., Friday, September 4, 2009 on the Washburn campus.
Built in 1928, the renovated field house now includes a 9,258 square foot strength and conditioning facility, team locker rooms, offices for the School of Nursing, an 80-seat classroom and two seminar rooms, and new basketball and volleyball courts.
“This is another tremendous example of the impact private support from our alumni and friends has for the students and programs at Washburn University,” said Dr. Jerry Farley, president of Washburn University. “A leadership gift from the Capitol Federal Foundation was important in making this project a possibility and with the remarkable financial support from many others this project is a success.”
The ribbon cutting ceremony will take place outside the north doors of Whiting Field House. Following the ribbon-cutting, visitors will be able to tour the facility.
