(Oldenburg, Ind.) – Oldenburg Academy will soon be the home of an ‘immaculate’ new gymnasium.

A groundbreaking ceremony was held last week for the Oldenburg Academy’s Hillenbrand Family Feldhaus, reports The Batesville Herald Tribune.

The new $3 million basketball gymnasium will be built on the Oldenburg Academy campus and it is expected to hold between 800 and 1,000 spectators, which is double the current capacity. The gym will also allow for multiple teams to hold practices at the same time.

The project is being supported by several donors, including the John A. Hillenbrand Foundation and William and Martha Hillenbrand Foundation.

The feldhaus is expected to be completed by October 2019.
