Schwab faces a bittersweet situation as structural concerns have led to plans to raze the 98-year-old building and its history but created visions for a standalone training facility to usher UNI wrestling into its next century.
UNI is expanding the scope of the largest fundraising effort ever to include a new wrestling training facility, pending approval from the Iowa Board of Regents.
