Borsellino Family Football Center

Benedictine University Athletics

Schedule

In the fall of 2012, Benedictine University and the Department of Athletics unveiled the “Borsellino Family Football Center,” a one-of-a-kind locker and meeting facility that enhances the overall student-athlete experience, expands the University's recruiting power and serves as a sense of pride for the entire football program.

The 4,100-square foot, $1.7 million facility located on the west side of the Rice Center incorporates new exterior construction and renovation of two indoor racquetball courts, which had served primarily as storage for the past 10 years.

The center includes 120 hardwood lockers, which are ventilated for increased air flow and wired for individual electrical outlets. Each locker is equipped with leather embossed seating and several areas for storage.

The facility features a 24-foot multimedia area including a 20-foot chalk talk board, flat screen TVs and game consoles. A “Champions Room” that recognizes past Eagle team champions and individual accomplishments features soft seating and provides the student-athletes a place to study and relax.

The locker facility is named for the Borsellino family of Oak Brook, which has sent three sons to Benedictine including 2012 All-American senior running back John Borsellino. The Borsellino's also made a significant donation to the project.

The facility was designed by DLR Group and built by International Contractors Inc.
