Holy Cross College Showcases New Pfeil Center to Business-Before-Hours
Over 100 local business professionals from the St. Joseph County Chamber of Commerce enjoyed a Business-Before-Hours breakfast this morning at Holy Cross College. They were also treated to the first public tours of the new Pfeil Center for sports, student activities, and recreation. “What an attractive building for sports and other big events!” said Michael Lacognato of PentaVision Communications. “People will love coming to games here.”
For many of the Chamber guests, it was their very first time on the Holy Cross College campus, and for others, it was their first time returning in several years. “A lot of the people I met were surprised that there was a four-year college campus back here. Personally, I’m amazed at how much this place has grown,” said Jim Guibert of Burkhart Advertising.
While many of the college facilities have been newly built or refurbished in the last ten years, the Pfeil Center is the latest addition to campus. The facility has basketball courts, an indoor running track, locker rooms, meeting rooms and offices for student government, coaches, and student activities, as well as state-of-the-art, health-club like training and exercise equipment. Both varsity and intramural sports teams will compete in basketball, volleyball and other indoor sports while every Holy Cross student will be able to work out, take recreation classes, and partake in campus-wide meetings and events. The first home men’s varsity basketball game is scheduled for October 31, 2008 and the public is invited to come out and cheer on the Saints.
