The Guglielmino Family Athletics Complex is beginning to take shape. Construction continues on the $21.25-million Don F. and Flora Guglielmino Family Athletics Complex which will adjoin the west side of the Loftus Center.

A 95,840-square-foot facility, it will house the football locker rooms, offices and meeting rooms, as well as provide Notre Dame’s 800 student-athletes with enhanced space for training and sports medicine, strength and conditioning programs, and equipment. The designer/builder on the project is McShane Construction of Chicago, and construction will be completed in the fall of 2005.

This photo gallery gives a rough idea of what the final building will look like. Construction is expected to be completed on August 1, 2005.

The center has been underwritten with a gift from the late Don F. Guglielmino and his wife, Flora. A longtime supporter of Notre Dame, Guglielmino attended the University in the 1939-40 academic year and previously made gifts to the Notre Dame Club of Los Angeles scholarship fund, the University’s Institute for Church Life, and the football program. He was recognized as an honorary alumnus in 1996 and was inducted into the Notre Dame National Monogram Club after his death May 31, 2001. He is survived by Flora and their three children.
