New Look Underway in SVC Field House

BENNINGTON, Vt. - The Southern Vermont College Field House will have a new look next time you set foot in the gym, but don't open the door quite yet as the fumes require gas masks to be worn.  Don't worry,  the court will be accessible in about a week.

Over the past few days the floor has been entirely refinished and painted.  The new SVC Mountaineer logo covers the floor as does the school's New England Collegiate Conference (NECC) logo. 

"This is a small part of what we need to do from an esthetic standpoint," said SVC Director of Athletics Benjamin Kozik.  "We hope people will come in and say ‘wow, that's nice' and leave with a good impression."

In addition, the school will have new chairs with a Southern Vermont College seal visible on the front.

"The chairs came in and they are sharp," added Kozik.  "It is almost like fine china, you want to put them under glass and not use them they look so good.

Southern Vermont College is an NCAA Divison III member, who participates in the New England Collegiate Conference.  The college offers 12 sports.  More information can be found on the school's website at www.svc.edu or the athletics' site www.svcathletics.com
