The Football Operations Center is a 93,000 square-foot sports facility[1] located on the UVA Campus, and situated adjacent to John Paul Jones Arena and the McCue Center, which the facility is intended to replace.[2] Construction on the complex officially began on June 2, 2022,[3] and officially finished on June 6, 2024 with a lavish celebration ceremony.[1][2] The Center is considered by many to be the centerpiece of the Athletics Master Plan,[4][5] alongside two natural grass practice fields (completed in Summer, 2020),[3] and an Olympic Sports Center which will likely be completed sometime in Summer, 2025.[6][7]

Naming

Following a decision on the request from the UVA Athletics Department by the Board of Visitors on June 7, 2024,[4] the center will be dedicated to Molly and Robert Hardie, two influential donors to the project and UVA Alumni.[5]
