NORMAN, Okla. - Construction on the Blake Griffin Performance Center will begin next month.
The naming of Oklahoma's new athletics performance center at Lloyd Noble Center was approved during a Board of Regents meeting on Thursday. The $7-million project is expected to take 12 months to complete.
Last August, the Los Angeles Clippers star committed to help support the construction of the approximately 18,400-gross-square-foot training center. His gift is the largest ever by a former Oklahoma basketball player.
Griffin had his No. 23 honored by Oklahoma last March, and it hangs from the Lloyd Noble rafters.
