SAN DIEGO - San Diego State officially broke ground on the Jeff Jacobs J.A.M. Center in August and now fans can track the progress of the basketball performance center by viewing SDSU's webcam (http://www.goaztecs.com/genrel/JAMCenter.html).
The 23,500-square-foot facility, which is located just south of the Fowler Athletics Center and east of the football practice fields, will include two full-length courts, eight baskets, locker rooms, film rooms, team lounges, athletic training room and coaches locker rooms to help support the Aztec men's and women's championship basketball programs.
Hundreds of supporters contributed to the effort to make the Jeff Jacobs J.A.M. Center a reality. In addition to the naming gift from Jeff Jacobs, Hal and Debby Jacobs, Steve and Lisa Altman and Jim Morris, creating the name "J.A.M." Center, sizeable donations were made from the Manna Charitable Foundation and the Walter and Betty Zable Foundation. The total cost of the project is $14.5 million, of which $12.5 million in private funding has been raised. No state funds will be used to construct this building.
The project was designed by JCJ Architecture and is being built by The Hunt Construction Group.
