Facilities: The University of Chicago recently unveiled the design of its Gerald Ratner Athletics Center, created by architect Cesar Pelli. The university's first new athletics center in 68 years, it is scheduled for completion in 2002. The building will feature a circular, skylit atrium lobby with a juice bar and seating that will overlook a 50-meter swimming pool, the first new pool on campus since 1904. A competition gymnasium will seat up to 2,000 spectators, and it will convert into two practice gymnasiums when its bleachers are retracted. Also included in the facility are a fitness center, workout rooms, dance classrooms, locker rooms, a rooftop sun terrace and offices for athletics staff and physical education faculty. The new facility, made possible by a $15 million gift from alumnus and former varsity baseball player Gerald Ratner, is the latest piece in the university's $500 million plan for capital improvement ... The main gymnasium in the athletics, recreation and physical education building at the University of Wisconsin, Whitewater, has been renamed the David L. Kachel Gymnasium. Donors David and Lolita Kachel were instrumental in the gymnasium receiving a new ceiling, ticket entrance for reserved seat holders, bleachers and sound system. The facility also was repainted and its locker rooms were renovated.
