Benefits: The new indoor basketball/volleyball practice facility will provide an opportunity to upgrade the Coors Events Center (CEC) with improved amenities, enhancing its flexibility for uses both within the athletics realm and outside it. Two new NCAA regulation size (50' x 94') basketball practice floors, to be shared by the men's and women's basketball programs and women's volleyball program, will allow for more scheduled formal team training and practices and individual skills development. The women's basketball program and volleyball program will each benefit from new locker rooms modeled after the newly renovated men's basketball locker room. The campus community will be engaged through the creation of much greater scheduling flexibility for campus and community events at CEC. And operationally, the CEC will be enhanced significantly through the development of the dedicated practice spaces, additional storage, and the ability to renovate the very limited event level spaces to better serve event operations. With these improvements, the Coors Events Center will finally live up to its name, hosting a variety of events throughout the year for the campus and Boulder communities.
