The Texas A&M men's and women's basketball teams have moved into their new home, the Cox-McFerrin Center for Aggie Basketball, a showplace that may well be the finest facility of its kind in the nation.
The $26 million master plan for Aggie Basketball includes an above ground, 68,000 square foot state-of-the-art basketball facility attached to Reed Arena. It includes a lobby special event area, two practice gymnasiums, expansive locker room facilities, players' lounges, coaches' offices, a weight room, meeting rooms, a training and medical room and video rooms.
"The Cox-McFerrin Center for Aggie Basketball is the extra piece of the puzzle here at A&M that transforms us from a good program into a nationally elite one," Texas A&M head women's basketball coach Gary Blair said.
The tri-level facility, which opened this fall, gives A&M a national showplace for its student-athletes. A dedication ceremony is planned for Jan. 17, 2009.
