2006-07 Women’s Rowing 3 ROBERT GILLIN, JR. BOATHOUSE

Saint Joseph’s University celebrated its sesquicentennial anniversary in 2000-01. In conjunction with that celebration, the SJU Rowing Program, along with Saint Joseph’s Prep, kicked off a capital campaign to finance the construction of a state-of-the-art boat- house on the Schuylkill River. The boathouse provides a permanent home for the Hawk rowing programs. In addition, it will provide the University with a significant presence on Kelly Drive, while also serving to attract tal- ented student-athletes and enhance the school’s athletic reputation. Named in honor of Robert Gillin, Jr., groundbreaking for the facility took place in the fall of 2001 with con- struction completed in time for the 2002 Dad Vail Regatta.
