The Ruane Friar Development Center is a transformative addition to the Providence College campus, elevating Friar athletics, student services, and campus life. Designed by Perkins Eastman and made possible through a generous gift from Michael A. Ruane ’71 & ’13 Hon. and his wife, Elizabeth, the new facility reinforces the College’s national athletic presence.
Phase I focused on men’s basketball, including a state-of-the-art training center, athlete support services, offices, a new Friar Athletics Hall of Fame, and a dining area. The center supports academic achievement, team-building, skills development, conditioning, and overall wellness.
