Heritage Hall Renovations
John McGillen`
Heritage Hall, USC’s traditional athletic headquarters, reopened in February
after a year of renovations. The project greatly expanded the building’s square
footage, which now includes a new interactive museum with a Hall of Champions
honoring the university’s most decorated student-athletes. The remodel coincides
with the celebration of USC Athletics’ 125th anniversary, continuing with the
soon-to-be-completed Uytengsu Aquatics Center.
