While Gill Center and Gill Gymnasium have recently undergone renovations, keeping up with the facility’s multipurpose demands requires a few upgrades. Improvements to the basketball court will facilitate safer competition between men’s and women’s basketball players, and brand-new top-of-the-line bleachers will provide guests with a comfortable, easily accessible view of the many events — such as athletics and commencement ceremonies — hosted here on the Hill.

The Rebecca L. Martin basketball court is by far my favorite spot on campus. I have made so many memories on this court with my teammates that I am forever grateful for. ”
