According to excerpts from the story:
For years Aquinas College has been talking about building a new fieldhouse. The talk is now over. The college is ready to tear down the old fieldhouse and build a new 12 million dollar facility. The fieldhouse was dedicated in 1969. At that time, there were only eight varsity sports programs. The building houses a lot of history. But the college has outgrown it. "And frankly as a lot of our students came here, regardless of the high school they came from, their facility was better than their college facility and we kept hearing that over and over again and now it's time," John Jackoboice, co-chair of the Aquinas Sports and Fitness Campaign Drive. The project will be done in two phases. Phase one will include new classrooms, training facilities and a state of the art fitness center. Construction should begin in December. The men's basketball and women's volleyball will give up their home season this year and play all their games on the road while this new fieldhouse is being completed.
