The Cooney Family Fieldhouse is expected to be substantially completed by July 1.
The building, which stands at the south end zone of Seibert Stadium, will be ready for use when the football team returns for fall practice at the beginning of August.

According to Vice President of University Relations Randy Pittman, the building will house the offices of all the football coaches, locker rooms, training and workout facilities and team meeting rooms, which will all be located on the first two floors.

The second floor balcony will be used for alumni and donor activities and receptions for football recruits. The third floor has yet to be finished, and its use is yet to be determined.

The new fieldhouse is named after Samford graduate Gary Cooney, whose initial gift made the building possible. Cooney is vice chairman of McGriff, Seibels & Williams, Inc., a national insurance brokerage firm.
