Bellevue University announced plans to construct a new 72,000-plus square foot, multimillion-dollar Athletics Fieldhouse just west of the University’s main campus, on Harvell Circle off of Herman Drive.
A groundbreaking ceremony for the Fieldhouse was held on Friday, Oct. 28, 2023.
The two-level building will include multiple competition and practice courts for both basketball and volleyball; Athletic training facilities, including a weight room and locker rooms; a press room area; and office, meeting, and storage space.
Bellevue University President Dr. Mary Hawkins expects the project to be completed in 18-24 months after the start of construction.
“This new facility and our student-athletes will be a winning combination,” Dr. Hawkins said. “This state-of-the-art facility is a major step in our strategic facilities plan. It opens up opportunities for us to enhance and expand student services and resources for our students who learn on campus and those who learn online.”
Athletic Director Ed Lehotak said all of the University’s student-athletes and coaches are excited to see the project come to life. “We expect this to have a very positive impact on the experience for our student-athletes, as well as our staff, faculty, fans and officials,” Lehotak said. “Athletes on all of our sports teams and our coaches will benefit in a big way.”
