ASHLEY SLOBODA | The Journal Gazette
Indiana Tech s south-side athletic complex is on track to add a new amenity supported by a $4 million anonymous donation, the private university announced Monday.
The indoor track and field facility at Warrior Park, 377 E. Tillman Road, will include a six-lane competition track. An artificial turf surface within the track will allow other sports teams to use the space, Indiana Tech said.
Karl Einolf, university president, described the gift as historic.
“This is one of the largest donations to our university in its 91-year history, and it will help us build a facility that serves not only Indiana Tech athletes, but additional track and field athletes throughout Allen County,” Einolf said in a statement. “This donor s selflessness gives Fort Wayne a great victory. Thank you.”
