CHICAGO-Just a year after reinstating its athletic program after a two-decade hiatus, Roosevelt University is moving forward on plans to build a field house for its athletics programs at a current parking lot at the corner of Congress Parkway and Wabash Avenue in the South Loop. The two-story Lillian and Larry Goodman Center will total 27,834 square feet.
