Any artist renditions of the new basketball practice facility on the web anywhere?

If you received an invitation to the groundbreaking ceremony, there is a drawing on the inside flap. But everything seems to suggest they are keeping it low profile until Dec. 8.

Very Nice!

TCU's practice facility looks like one of them aluminum sheds your Dad tried to build in the backyard for the riding mower.

Ours looks first class, just like we would expect.

BTW the floor markings should be utilized in Moody too.

How does this facility compare with BU's?

That was my thought when I saw the floor plans. I was wondering if that is a sneak peak of the new floor in Moody, or just an architects best artistic shot. Either way I like it.

Yes, they do look quite good. Much like the building.

Well, since you asked...the Baylor site shows theirs cost $8 million and is 42,990 sq ft. It's hard to tell everything about SMU's plans, but it looks like it will be more of a standalone facility (even though it is connected to Moody by tunnels). Baylor's facility is connected to the North side of the Ferrell Center.

Main difference from what I can tell is that BU's facility did not include locker rooms for the men or women. Their locker rooms inside Ferrell had been updated in 2004-5.

Here is the link to a video tour of the BU facility, a week or two before they moved in.
