Athletics and Recreation Complex at the University of Hartford

Brian Shactman interviews Larry Ward, President of the University of Hartford, and Vin Baker, NBA star and assistant coach for the Milwaukee Bucks, about a new outdoor athletics and recreation complex named after Baker. The facility, set to open in the fall, includes six basketball courts, six tennis courts (one for pickleball), and a lacrosse bounce back wall. Baker, who overcame addiction, emphasizes the significance of the honor, as it marks the start of his journey. Ward highlights the facility's integration of varsity athletes and the broader student and community experience. The project was fully funded by alumni.
