I don't know what it is about, but I do see that Lovell is delivering his presidential address at 3:00 today.

Yes just saw that. Anyone think it might be arena or practice facility related?

Turns out this is a bigger deal than I thought-

http://www.nba.com/bucks/release/milwaukee-bucks-collaborate-marquette-university-world-class-multi-purpose-sports-medicine

"Today, the owners of the Milwaukee Bucks have announced their intention to collaborate with Marquette University on a sports medicine and health and wellness initiative. Together, they are in the early stages of planning to construct a new, world-class, multi-purpose sports medicine and research facility to support the program.

Issues surrounding athlete health and performance are receiving increased attention throughout the NBA, other professional sports leagues and universities nationwide. Given the importance of these issues, the ownership of the Milwaukee Bucks and Marquette University are partnering to make significant investments in the health and well-being of their players and students, respectively. The partnership intends to build a world-class facility in downtown Milwaukee that supports elite-level sports science and medicine, health and wellness, as well as academic research initiatives.

Milwaukee Bucks co-owner Wes Edens stated, “When our group purchased the team, we made a promise to make an impact on and off the court. We are committed to upholding this promise. The development of this world-class facility will not only benefit Bucks players and Marquette students, but as a cutting edge leader in the sports medicine space, it will benefit the entire region and make Wisconsin an even greater attraction worldwide. We are excited to take this first step and partner with Marquette on this endeavor.”

The development is expected to be built on land Marquette University recently acquired in the 800 block of West Michigan Street."

Baseless speculation time... wonder if this facility will be built in addition to a fieldhouse/practice space for the Olympic sports teams.

President Lovell talked about something like this at the New York City Meet & Greet in the fall.  At the time it sounded liked he wanted a dual purpose facility that did something like this announced and a recreation facility/field house for the students.

Lovell must be reading Scoop and the poll about a new medical school.  Baby steps....

I was just looking for my comments about this back in December but couldn't locate.  This fits exactly what Lovell told our group back then without providing any details.  I'm certain this was in the works during Q4.

Great news. Having said that, I am curious where a new student rec center fits within the capital budget. This is well overdue IMO.

NICE. Most logical use for that land... too far from the rest of campus for classrooms or housing.

Well done, Dr. Lovell.

This thing has been in the works for awhile. It's going to be an absolute slam dunk for the university and basketball program.

I'm not trying to be a dick, but realistically, what is the student rec center missing?

Maybe they could just refresh/remodel it? It's only been around since the 70's. MU can't really afford to be replacing facilities every 40 years.

I would guess it's not missing much of anything. But it's a collegiate arms race. Other schools have shiny new facilities. Got to match them, or fall behind.

Tremendous for the hoops program, for the Olympic sports programs, and for the entire academic reputation of the school.  

Absolutely incredible.

It's missing a track and an indoor practice area that lacrosse & soccer can use during the still Milwaukee cold months.

I think we should immediately set up a high jump pit out on the vacant land so Wally can set the record.  Like this afternoon.

It's a recruiting tool much like the academic and residential facilities. At the least, a serious renovation is needed.
