RUSTON – Louisiana Tech fans are invited to attend the groundbreaking of the Origin Bank Center for Student-Athlete Success, which will take place on Friday, April 25 at 11 a.m.
 
The ceremony for the transformative facility will be in the north end zone of Joe Aillet Stadium and is open to the public. 
 
Made possible through both state funding and private donations, the Origin Bank Center for Student-Athlete Success will serve as a significant educational space that will provide world-class academic, wellness, and leadership resources for all LA Tech student-athletes.
 
Origin Bank, the official bank of Louisiana Tech Athletics, is the naming partner for the state-of-the-art facility after making the largest corporate gift ever to Louisiana Tech University.
 
It is the latest part of a multi-phase project at Joe Aillet Stadium that has already seen the additions of the Sarah and A.L. Williams Champions Plaza as well as the LED ribbon board and video board.
 
The Origin Bank Center for Student-Athlete Success has a projected completion date of summer 2026.
