The final touches are being completed on the DeBruce Center, the $21 million structure that next to Allen Fieldhouse that will be the future home of James Naismith’s original rules of basketball.
KU’s Williams Fund — the official fundraising department for KU Athletics — released photos on its Twitter account of the new building.

Oliver Morrison had a nice rundown last week about the building, explaining what it will be used for and detailing why the rules won’t be in there when it first opens.
Last Friday, KU Athletics also officially unveiled a 320-pound bronze Naismith statue in front of the center.
