Construction has officially begun on the new ICA Basketball Training Facility at the University of Washington (UW), a joint effort between UW, Mortenson, and Gensler. This 36,000-square-foot facility will serve as the dedicated home for both men’s and women’s basketball teams. The project is fully funded by generous donors, including over $1 million from Husky basketball players and alumni.
The state-of-the-art training facility will feature two practice courts totaling 9,800 square feet each. These courts will be exclusively available to each program for round-the-clock use with top-of-the-line equipment provided for fair and equal access to resources. The project is expected to be completed in Fall 2025.
