Antunovich Associates are collaborating with HNTB and DePaul University to construct a new Men's and Women's Basketball Practice Facility and the renovation of their existing Athletic Center on their Lincoln Park Campus. By constructing this new approximately 70,000 square-foot Basketball Practice Facility and renovating the Sullivan Athletic Center and McGrath-Phillips Arena facility, DePaul University will be able to create state-of-the-art practice facilities for its intercollegiate athletic teams that compete in the Big East Conference.
The new Basketball Practice Facility, located at the corner of Belden and Sheffield Avenues, will provide DePaul University with two new basketball practice courts for both men and women, additional locker rooms, a weight room, rehabilitation/therapy rooms, offices, team meeting rooms, laundry rooms, and supplemental multiple-purpose office and lounge spaces. In addition, DePaul University will renovate the existing substandard Athletic Department space located in the nearby Sullivan Athletic Center and McGrath-Phillips Arena on the East side of Sheffield Avenue for other men’s and women’s athletic teams. These facilities will be upgraded to provide new locker rooms, weight training rooms, student lounges, and improved offices and meeting rooms.
