Northwestern’s all-inclusive 500,000 square foot facility does have an unmatched location on the shores of Lake Michigan. Based on the outdoor practice facility, it’s clear that the views will be one of a kind.
Construction is ongoing. Fitzgerald provided a few construction updates of the new Ryan Fieldhouse and Walter Athletics Center.
