Liberty Athletics has announced that long-time University and Athletics supporters Sherwin and Lora Cook have provided the lead gift for the Cook Tennis Center, soon to be the new operations center for its men's and women's tennis programs.
"We are all grateful to Sherwin and Lora Cook for their wonderful gift to our tennis program," said Jeff Barber, Liberty's Director of Athletics. "Facilities play a vital role in the ability for our institution to recruit and compete at the highest level. The Cook Center will provide our tennis programs with an outstanding home and with a better chance to be the type of program we strive to be."
The facility will be constructed adjacent to the program's 12 new championship tennis courts located on Liberty's Campus North. The 2,500-square foot building will house two locker rooms, training and laundry rooms, a stringing room, four offices for coaches, a kitchen area, team room and a balcony that will overlook the tennis courts.
Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Cook!!!

I am looking forward to one day sitting on that balcony and watching some amazing tennis!
What a wonderful way to spend an afternoon!
It's going to be GREAT!!!
To answer your question '09, yes they are. They are much better than the lighting at the old facility, and many tennis facilities across the country have similar lighting styles now.

"Since Liberty Athletics' announcement in early November that the Cook family would provide the lead gift for the Cook Tennis Center, steady progress has been made toward beginning the facility's construction.
The architectural drawings (viewable from the above link) show the design for the new home of Liberty's tennis programs, which will be built adjacent to the 12 championship tennis courts located on Liberty's Campus North."
tennisfan - I was at the invitational a couple of weeks ago and took a few pics and put them up on Facebook. Unfortunately, your daughter wasn't playing at the time. The facility has really turned into a great venue. There was a nice buzz around the event. Parking was actually tough to find as well.
Sly, you were there??? How in the world did I not meet you? I am so disappointed! The facility is looking great and the team very strong. I think it is going to be a great year! So, so sorry I didn't know you were at the tournament!
