Help build the future of Virginia Athletics.

The indoor practice facility will cost $13 million plus financing costs. We need your help to complete this project on time. With construction scheduled for completion by spring 2013, our goal is to have all contribution commitments in place by December 31, 2012. This would enable the football team to use the facility in preparation for the 2013 football season and all field sports to take advantage of the facility in the spring.

Donors who make a commitment of $2,500, payable over a three-year period, will be formally recognized on a plaque. As an added benefit for donors, additional bonus priority points will be awarded for contributions received by December 31, 2012 (gift paid x .04) and by December 31, 2013 (gift paid x .03).

  • 65-ft. arched ceiling
  • 120-yd. interior field
  • *All field sports will have access
