Northwestern University has announced plans to proceed with construction of a $220-million complex for athletic and recreational activities at the north end of its campus in Evanston, Ill. Plans also call for renovations to the existing Dellora A. and Lester J. Norris Aquatics Center and Henry Crown Sports Pavilion.
“This new plan will provide greatly enhanced recreational facilities for all of our students, increased parking at the north end of campus and improved areas for our athletic programs,” said Morton Schapiro, Northwestern president, at a Saturday news conference. “This is a game-changer in every regard for the University.”
