CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) — Harvard is planning to build a new basketball arena by 2022 and also renovate the nation’s oldest football stadium.
The Harvard Crimson, the school’s student newspaper, reported that the school revealed the plans during a neighborhood meeting on Thursday night.
Harvard’s Lavietes Pavillion, the basketball teams’ home since 1982, now holds 2,195 seats. It is the second-smallest in the Ivy League to Dartmouth’s.
Jeremy Gibson, an associate athletic director, said at a Harvard-Allston Task Force meeting would be built between 2017 and 2022.
