GRAND FORKS, N.D. – University of North Dakota Director of Athletics Brian
Faison announced today that the athletics department will celebrate the opening
of its new High Performance Center on Monday, Nov. 9.
The grand opening event is open
to the general public. Doors will open at 5:30 p.m. with the program beginning
at 6 p.m. Hors d’oeuvres and beverages will be served.
“This is a very special moment
for UND Athletics as we officially open the UND Athletics High Performance
Center on Nov. 9,” said Faison. “I don’t think I can overstate how important
the High Performance Center will be for the continuing development of our
athletics teams. It has taken a tremendous partnership with alumni and friends
to get this project completed. And now our fans will have the chance to see it
up close and personal.”

Projects Amy Stroup at amy.stroup.2@athletics.und.edu.
Workers are currently
completing installation of the eight-lane, 300-meter Mondo track surface, which
is the final component of Phase One of the High Performance Center.
Installation of a full-length football field, video and scoreboard, tradition
displays, and other Phase One amenities were completed earlier this year.
Future
additions to the UND Athletics High Performance Center will include spectator
seating, coaches offices and locker rooms for UND football and track &
field, a state-of-the-art strength and conditioning area, a student-athlete
academic center, and sports medicine space for all UND Athletics teams. The
facility will also serve the greater Grand Forks community by offering a host
site for youth athletics camps and college and youth track and field meets.
