University breaks ground on ‘transformative’ Meinig Fieldhouse

By Jeremy Hartigan, Athletics and Physical Education
University leaders, core project donors and key stakeholders in Athletics and Physical Education celebrated the kickoff of the Meinig Fieldhouse project Oct. 19 with a groundbreaking ceremony as part of Cornell’s Trustee-Council Annual Meeting weekend.
“Athletics, physical education and health are absolutely core priorities for Cornell,” said Interim President Michael I. Kotlikoff. “So when this project emerged, it wasn’t a question of if we should do it, but a question of how we would do it.”
