How cool do these plans look? I found this by doing some random searching on-line. Check out the design for an on-campus sports complex for basketball -- it has a full arena and three practice courts where the current outdoor tennis courts are. THIS is the kind of facility big-time basketball programs have. I hope JTIII can deliver it!

Okay, I hope you guys got a good look at this before they shut it down. I posted it on the Hoyatalk board a couple of hours ago and I think the university caught wind of it. They probably don't want all of the alumni getting their hopes up. Too bad. What a beautiful facility! If you click on the architect's main site you can still seen the plans in thumbnail form.
Wow, now the thumbnail has also been removed! Clearly, we weren't supposed to be looking at this. I wish I had saved the picture as a jpeg. Again, I hope you all checked the blog this afternoon and got a look.
Diamond, I looked at it briefly right when you posted it. Was it just the large jpeg showing the entire complex as a kind of aerial with cutaways of Yates and the refurbished McDonough?
I thought it was neat, but I didn't see enough detail (especially of McDonough) to get too excited.
Yes, that was it. The exterior looked similar to the new MSF and the SWQ with a large lobby/office area, an arena where McDonough currently stands, and a practice facility with three courts where the current outdoor tennis courts are. That's exciting to me!
I was trying to figure out why the tennis courts were inside! Practice basketball courts...that makes sense. Maybe that way the team could learn to shoot so they wouldn't get outscored a zillion to 1 in the first few minutes of the game.
