Description:
On Sunday afternoon, Nov. 15, 2015, Davidson College held a ribbon cutting and dedication ceremony for the $13.3 million dollar Harry L. Vance Athletic Center.
Â
The Vance Athletic Center, which is an enhancement to Baker Sports Complex, was made possible, in part, by a $4 million challenge gift from Samuel and Ann Ginn of Hillsborough, Calif., to honor Ann's father, the late Harry L. Vance, Davidson College Class of 1926.
The 50,000-square-foot space provides two practice courts for Davidson's men's and women's basketball teams and the volleyball team. This additional gym space will help alleviate the growing needs of Davidson's club and intramural programs, as well. Also located in the new center are coaches' offices, administrative space, locker rooms, team rooms and film rooms for men's and women's basketball. Â
Davidson's burgeoning dance program will benefit from the new Cheryle Williamson Center for Dance, which will support academic and co-curricular dance activities. This space was made possible by the generosity of Cheryle and Joel Williamson '67 of Chicago, Ill.
The overall Davidson fan experience will be enhanced thanks to a new game day entrance easily accessible from the parking lot and a new ticket office and lobby highlighting athletic accomplishments that will include the Nisbet Hall of Fame. The facility will also feature the Red Ventures Athletic Club.
