Plans are up on cyclones.com
AMES, Iowa – Iowa State University announced Thursday plans for a 36,000-square foot basketball practice facility, pending approvals from the City of Ames and the Board of Regents, that could open as soon as September of 2009.
The new facility will be dedicated exclusively to the men’s and women’s basketball programs, including separate gymnasiums, locker rooms, player lounges and coaches’ offices for each team and a sports medicine unit. The facility will be located on two acres of land on the west side of Ames that is being donated to the Iowa State University Foundation for this purpose by local developer Dickson Jensen. It will be part of a 10-acre comprehensive retail and commercial development planned for that area.
“We were very excited when Dickson approached us about his desire to help our basketball programs by donating his land and also building a state-of-the-art practice facility for our men’s and women’s basketball teams,” said Athletics Director Jamie Pollard. Full Story  |

I wonder how many lottery tickets Pollard buys per week...

As a result of the land donation, the University plans to recommend to the Board of Regents a design build construction process with an accelerated completion date that will provide the athletics department a much more affordable facility than an addition to Hilton Coliseum which was previously being considered. | | | |

so, where exactly is this going to be located? Awesome, but is it a disadvantage at all that it will not be connected to Hilton?
