The renovations, which were completed in September 2008, have already reaped benefits for the College, the City of Providence and the State of Rhode Island, as Providence was awarded the first and second rounds of the 2010 NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship. Many of the College’s athletic improvements were made possible through Driscoll’s fundraising efforts.
