The University of Toronto recently announced plans to construct a new 2,000 seat basketball/volleyball facility as part of a Center for High Performance Sport in downtown Toronto. With an $11 million injection into the fundraising campaign by the Goldring Family (touted as the largest ever private donation for sport to a university in Canada, presumably surpassing Ron Joyce's $10 million donation to McMaster last year), U of T's goal of raising $53 million by the end of this year is off to a rousing start. Plans are to begin construction in the fall of 2008. Best of luck to U of T for hopefully producing another top-notch basketball facility for Canada, this time deep in the heart of Canada's largest city.
