St. Joseph’s College finally opens new arena in Fort Greene
After many years of planning, delays and construction, St. Joseph’s College officially opened the Hill Center, a brand new gym and basketball arena, on Vanderbilt Avenue in Fort Greene where the women’s basketball team lost 84-72 to Old Westbury Saturday night.
“It’s fabulous, it’s wonderful and terrific,” said Sister Elizabeth Hill, St. Joseph’s former president and the namesake for the building. “We’ve been waiting for this for a very long time. Planning for the building took three or four years and then the actual construction, because we kept running into problems.”
