Notes

Facilities: Rollins College will break ground in May on a $10.1 million expansion that will double the size of the 30-year-old Enyart Alumni Field House on the campus. The 73,000-square-foot facility, which is scheduled to be completed 15 months after construction begins, will be named for the project's initial $3 million donors, Harold and Ted Alfond. The center will feature an upgraded floor, a second practice gymnasium and other features that will make it easier to accommodate the university's 21 varsity sports.
