One Year After Groundbreaking, Gossett Basketball Performance Center Construction Fully Underway – University of Maryland Athletics

COLLEGE PARK, MD – Just over one year since its groundbreaking ceremony, construction of the Barry P. Gossett Basketball Performance Center is fully underway having already achieved several milestones.

The facility, located adjacent to the XFINITY Center, broke ground on June 22, 2023 with Gossett in giving remarks to the crowd alongside Maryland President Darryll J. Pines, Barry P. Gossett Director of Athletics Damon Evans, women’s basketball head coach Brenda Frese, men’s basketball head coach Kevin Willard, and former Terrapin Club president Marlene Feldman. ESPN celebrity and Maryland alum Scott Van Pelt emceed the event noting the importance and the collective efforts in bringing the facility to life.

Since then, the facility has begun to take shape. Excavation was completed in February 2024 followed by the foundational work for the project. This summer the steel framing has gone up with completion of that process expected to conclude in July.
