SYRACUSE, NY -- Work on the new Carmelo K. Anthony Basketball Center got underway on Monday, May 19, when construction equipment dug into the ground for the first time.

The planned facility will house two practice courts, locker rooms and office facilities for the men’s and women’s basketball programs at Syracuse. It will be located on the north side of Manley Field House, in between the Roy Simmons Sr. Coaches Wing and the Comstock Art Facility.

It is expected to encompass approximately 53,100 gross square feet. Construction should take approximately 14 months to complete.

Carmelo Anthony, who helped Syracuse win the 2003 NCAA Basketball championship, committed $3 million to the building. He is currently a member of the NBA's Denver Nuggets.
