Robins Foundation awards $8 million for on-campus stadium and Westhampton Center
The Robins Foundation has awarded two grants totaling $8 million to the University of Richmond to help construct an expanded on-campus stadium and new Westhampton Center.
A $5 million grant will be used to complete the fundraising to expand the university's existing on-campus stadium into a multi-sport venue serving the football, lacrosse, soccer and track programs. The stadium currently hosts Richmond's lacrosse, soccer and track programs.
The $3 million grant will help construct a new building adjacent to the existing Westhampton College Deanery that will serve as the foundation for the Westhampton Center project. The project includes the existing Deanery, the new building and a range of new programs and resources specially designed to meet the needs of women students. The gift will allow the university to move forward with construction of the new building, while it continues to raise funds to support the new services the Westhampton Center will provide.
