Ruane Friar Development Center

Basketball is at the core of Providence College’s identity. Its program is a major attraction for both potential recruits and students looking to participate in a robust college athletics scene. But in 2017, Providence was the only program in the BIG EAST without a dedicated on-campus practice facility.

The Ruane Friar Development Center is a 56,000-square-foot practice facility for the men’s basketball team, equipped with cutting-edge tech, two full-size practice courts, an athletics training center, staff offices, and a new Friar Athletics Hall of Fame.
