A major construction project at Emporia State University is just about ready to unveil to the public.
On Saturday, ESU will have a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the over $3 million Kossover Tennis Complex, the first indoor tennis complex in the MIAA. The ceremony will include ESU tennis athletes, a proclamation from Kansas Governor Laura Kelly and the official first serve from former coach George Milton. US Senator Jerry Moran is also scheduled to appear.
The idea for the tennis complex was announced three years ago. It came from one-time Emporia State student-athletes Greg Kossover and Ken Hush, who made the lead gifts and sparked a long list of private donations. The facility is designed for both men’s and women’s tennis teams and includes four outdoor courts and a nearby patio, as well as two indoor courts, a viewing deck, student-athlete lounge, coach’s office and locker rooms.
The ceremony will be at 10:30 am.
