Construction will begin at the conclusion of the basketball season in March 2017 with anticipated completion by fall 2018. A leadership gift from Patrick G. and Shirley W. Ryan, along with a $10 million gift from Stephen R. and Susan K. Wilson, donations from other loyal North- western benefactors and the existing athletics maintenance and equipment budget, will fund the $110-plus million project. A handful of new or renovated spaces in Welsh-Ryan are still available for naming. “The inspiring leadership of the Ryans has benefited Northwestern in so many ways over the years, and we are extremely grateful for this latest gift,” Presi- dent Morton Schapiro said. “Simply stated, this is a historic moment for the future of Northwestern Athletics,” said Jim Phillips, vice president for athletics and recreation. “There are no greater champions for Northwestern than Pat and Shirley Ryan. We never will appropriately convey our gratitude for their vision and generosity, which have made a seismic impact on our University and generations of students. In addition, we are also incredibly appreciative of Steve and Sue Wilson’s continued unconditional support and leadership; they are truly two of our very best Wildcats.” Phillips added, “The new Welsh-Ryan Arena will be a dramatic transformation for our varsity sports programs that call it home and for the fans who devot- edly support our student-athletes. A central tenet of our commitment to providing a world-class experience for our Wildcats is a passionate home crowd. This complete overhaul of our most used and versatile venue will create a state-of-the-art experience accessible to all Chicagoland sports fans while they support our student-athletes in competition.” The project, part of the 2010 master athletics facilities plan
