A basketball training center, new conference rooms and executive meeting rooms were also provided. An integral part of the renovation of Freedom Hall was the development of several meeting rooms for the University. The Hickman Camp, the Presidents Room and the V.I.P. room were all designed to serve as entertainment and meeting rooms for year round use. The University designated the Hickman Camp Room as a place for University supporters to gather and as a display space for the trophies and awards of the basketball team. The room is a gathering place for pre-game and halftime during basketball season.
