Senator David Braley will donate one of the largest sums of money in Mohawk College history toward a new Athletic and Recreation Centre, The Spectator has learned.
The $35 million sleek-looking centre is part of Mohawk's largest campus renewal development project that is slated to open on schedule when classes resume in September.
The 64,000 square foot facility will include three N.B.A-size basketball courts with retractable seating that can hold 700 patrons, an outdoor trail and indoor running circuit and six change rooms.
Mohawk College basketballer and Athlete of the Year winner, Megan Campbell, said the latest upgrade will hopefully attract more students and athletes to the college.
"It was still great, but compared to the other stadiums we played at, it needed an upgrade," she said. "With this new stadium, this will be the best on the block."
The amount of Braley's donation will be disclosed tomorrow.
More to come.
