University of Washington Breaks Ground on Basketball Training Facility

The University of Washington (UW), in partnership with Mortenson and Gensler, broke ground on the school’s new ICA Basketball Training Facility, a 36,000-square-foot home for men’s and women’s basketball. The $60 million project is fully donor-funded, with over $1 million coming from Husky basketball players and alumni.

The training facility includes two 9,800-square-foot practice courts, individually dedicated to the men’s or women’s basketball program for exclusive 24/7 access, providing fair and equitable spaces with cutting-edge equipment for both basketball programs. The project is targeting completion in the Fall of 2025.

“This groundbreaking is the much-anticipated culmination of an exciting partnership with the University of Washington Athletics and Mortenson,” said Francesly Sierra, Project Manager, Gensler Seattle. Additional features include viewing and gathering spaces, a conference and recruiting room, and 4,000 square feet of renovations.
