How UConn athletics made a ‘huge leap forward’ with the renovation and construction of facilities

Construction is officially open on the Bailey Student-Athletic Success Center, a complete makeover of the existing Greer Field House that includes the Nayden Center For Academic Excellence. UConn isn’t done improving its facilities because such work never ends on any campus, but there are no more major projects on the horizon that haven’t been announced, funded, started or completed. Massive buildings have been erected, some costing millions of dollars, some costing dozens of millions, all of them combining to give the UConn campus the capabilities and look befitting its athletic profile. Benedict, who had most recently worked at Auburn, remembers what campus looks like when he arrived in 2016. The Bailey and Nayden Centers will, at a price of $90 million, will open in 2027. The Bailey Center will house numerous UConn teams and offer services to every student-athlete on campus in areas of fitness, mental health, academics, social opportunities and much more.
