By Greg, on September 23rd, 2014 Bates head coach Pat Cosquer has formally announced the expansion of the Bates College Squash Center. A 4 wall glass court will be added to the existing 5 courts. The new court will be the first 4 walled glass court in Maine and will feature state of the art LED lighting. This particular court has traveled around the country and has been used at most of the major professional squash events in recent years. It has been in Grand Central Station in New York and at the Boston Symphony Hall for the Squash Showdown events. The floor, back wall, tin and lighting are all new and configured for its new permanent home at Bates College.
