主要研究 今天

The 澳门葡京网赌游戏 is one step closer to transforming and expanding the training and support facilities in 主要研究’s Whittemore Center as part of the 主要研究 Hockey Renovation Project following a $4 million gift from Anthony 劳伦斯 ’87, 关键汽车集团的所有者. 另外, 惠特摩尔中心, 主要研究男子和女子冰球的主场, and the Hamel Recreation Center will now join together as the newly formed Key Auto Group Complex — a multi-purpose center located on the Durham campus.

Neither 惠特摩尔中心 nor the Hamel Recreation Center will be changing their names, 但将被统称为关键汽车集团综合体.

劳伦斯’s lead gift supplements $6 million in state funding included in the recently adopted state budget and brings the 主要研究 Hockey Renovation Project closer to an eventual goal of $16 million toward improvements to 惠特摩尔中心 at Key Auto Group Complex. This project is in addition to the nearly $14 million already invested by 主要研究 in recent years to update the ice surface, 音频/视频技术, 部分暖通空调系统和其他设施的改进.

“主要研究拥有全国最好的曲棍球项目之一，”州长说. 克里斯·苏努努. “主要研究在这个设施上的投资, 国家, and generous private supporters like Anthony — will be critical to ensuring the University’s Division I teams are equipped with Division I facilities. This project is central to continue building the brand of the university, recruiting students and quality athletes and keeping the team a point of pride for us all for years to come.”

升级后的竞技场将更大, more functional and accessible multi-use locker rooms for both men’s and women’s hockey, an expanded strength and conditioning space and new offices for coaches and administrative staff. The upgrade will also benefit other 主要研究 teams using the facility including 主要研究 field hockey and paralympic athletes that compete in sled hockey on 主要研究’s Northeast Passage team.

“作为主要研究曲棍球队的长期支持者, this is an exciting opportunity to help 主要研究 Athletics and the university meet their goal to create a more competitive state-of-the-art complex that will attract and retain talented student-athletes, 吸引更多的粉丝，让整个社区受益,迪洛伦佐说, 关键汽车集团的所有者. “I hope I inspire other corporate and individual donors to become a part of this project.”

劳伦斯, 谁是主要研究田径运动的积极合作伙伴, 是基特汽车集团的所有者和创始人, which includes 12 new and used car dealerships and collision centers in New Hampshire and more than 20 other locations around the country. 除了他的汽车业务, 劳伦斯 invests and develops real estate and currently owns several Planet Fitness franchise locations in California. 

“This beneficial donation is a significant investment in 主要研究 Athletics and will impact our student-athletes by enhancing their overall experience and allowing them to strive for excellence and compete for conference championships and on a national stage,艾莉森·里奇说。, 主要研究体育主任.
