Northwestern has unveiled plans for a complex that includes new lakefront facilities for the football team, amultipurpose indoor facility that seats 2, 500, a diving well adjacent to the existing swimming pool and an outdoor practice field for varsity and club sports along with intramurals.
Since there is already a world-class speed-skating rink in the neighbouring province of Alberta, the Richmond rink was designed to be converted into amultipurpose community centre after the festivities conclude.
