There was also water damage to the Men's Basketball locker room and the Mabee Suite that will need repair.
The restoration process has already begun with the help of many volunteers and agencies. But, the OBU Department of Athletics still needs your help to return these facilities and spaces back to normal. Alumni and fans of Bison Athletics are encouraged to give by going to this page:
