MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) - Kansas State has unveiled its new $18 million Basketball Training Facility.
About 600 people attended a dedication and ribbon cutting ceremony Friday at the facility.
The Topeka Capital-Journal reports that the new 50,000 square-foot building is located east of Bramlage Coliseum and has two full-length practice courts -- one for the men's team and one for the women's team. There are also coaches' offices, locker rooms and player lounges, meeting rooms and a weight room.
The lead donors in the privately-funded project were Patti and Rand Berney and Laura and Jim Johnson. Jim Johnson says the new facility will make the Wildcats the "envy of the Big 12."
