SAN ANTONIO, TX — Skanska recently broke ground on the new basketball and volleyball practice facility at The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA). The milestone marked the start of construction of the new $35 million project.
The two-story, 50,000-square-foot training facility for UTSA’s men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball programs will house the daily operations. This space will provide all the practice amenities associated with NCAA Division I basketball and volleyball, including each program having its own practice court, team locker room with shower space, film review room, team lounge area, and office space for coaching staff. The programs will share strength and conditioning facilities, hydrotherapy facilities, and equipment and laundry room facilities.
"UTSA elevates San Antonio’s national position in collegiate sports with its continued investment in its players and facilities,” said Ryan Aalsma, Executive Vice President and General Manager for Skanska USA Building, San Antonio. “It is an honor to be part of the team contributing to Roadrunner Athletics’ and San Antonio’s growth and success.”
"We are thrilled to break ground on the Basketball and Volleyball Training Facility," UTSA Vice President for Intercollegiate Athletics Lisa Campos said. "This will be a difference-maker for all of our student-athletes in these three sports. I want to thank Dr. Eighmy for his unwavering support, along with the City of San Antonio, Bexar County, our Roadrunner Foundation, and everyone who has contributed to making this facility a reality."
The project is expected to be complete by summer 2026.
