Construction began in August 2005 on the north side of the Coliseum. The $30 million structure was completed on January 11, 2007 . As a result, Memorial Coliseum has more ample space for volleyball and gymnastics practice and games.
The facility is named after Joe Craft, a Hazard, Kentucky native, who pledged $6 million towards the completion of the $30 million project.
