Indiana University Receives $15 million gift, names Basketball Development Center
Cook Hall is currently finishing up its finals stages of construction.
Indiana University recently received a $15 million gift from The Cook Group, the single largest gift in IU Athletics history. As a part of their For the Glory of Old IU campaign, the gift will name the basketball development center after the benefactors-Cook Hall. Located adjacent to Assembly Hall, the facility will house the Men’s and Women’s basketball teams, providing them with valuable practice and training space.
This announcement comes on the heels of an impressive facility expansion project, which included the construction of a new North End Zone Student-Athlete Development Center, located in Memorial Stadium, which houses the football program, a 25,000-square-foot weight room and administrative offices.
With a gift of this size, IU is now taking the proper steps of stewardship, announcing the receipt of the gift and the naming of Cook Hall in numerous press outlets. The release even included a nice quote from Bill Cook, who commented on what the gift meant to him and his wife. Their affinity towards IU makes this gift a win/win situation for both sides.
