**MARYLAND’S NEW MEN’S** basketball head coach isn’t the only development that has Terps excited this season. Both the [men’s](https://umterps.com/news/2025/9/3/first-look-barry-p-gossett-basketball-performance-center-home-of-maryland-mens-basketball.aspx) and [women’s](https://umterps.com/news/2025/9/3/womens-basketball-first-look-bpc-opening.aspx) teams celebrated the September opening of the highly anticipated Barry P. Gossett Basketball Performance Center.

Located adjacent to the Xfinity Center, the 44,000-square-foot building features a practice court, a strength and conditioning facility, expanded locker rooms, training areas with hydrotherapy, space for film study, and lounges and offices for both teams’ staffs.

Former basketball locker rooms and offices now freed up in the Xfinity Center will be redesigned to benefit other Terps sports teams.

The center, named for the lead donor, a longtime UMD supporter, is the latest completed project in Maryland Athletics’ [Building Champions](https://static.umterps.com/custompages/buildingchampions/index.html) campaign to renovate and enhance facilities for every UMD student-athlete.

“It’ll be great not only for our players,” says [new men’s basketball head coach Buzz Williams](https://terp.umd.edu/buzzwords-with-buzz), “but it’ll also be great for our staff, great for recruiting and great for every aspect of the program.”
