The complex will clearly be one of the finest colle- giate swimming and diving facilities in the country. Construction of the Allan Jones Intercollegiate Aquatic Center began Oct. 15. The $24.3 million complex bears the name of Cleveland, Tenn., businessman Allan Jones, who provided a $4 million challenge gift towards the construction of the new state- of-the-art facility. Over 50 former swimmers, divers and their fam- ilies also made significant contributions in excess of $450,000 to make the AJIAC a reality along with a total of 872 donors.
