STATESBORO - You voted. We listened. And now the project is completed.

After a massive vote by Eagle Nation to decide the design, the Georgia Southern Athletics Department unveiled the redesigned court for Hanner Fieldhouse, home of Eagle volleyball and basketball.

While the final design wasn't one of the four initial choices, enough fans suggested a slight change in the logo at mid-court to make us take notice and make a change.

Georgia Southern used GameDay Floors out of Alpharetta to do the project, which included one of the most complex and intricate mid-court designs done by the company. The court has a new design that features a two-tone playing surface, new Sun Belt Conference branding and a silhouette of the state of Georgia underneath a much larger Eagle logo. The court was designed by AJ Henderson of the Georgia Southern Athletics Creative Services office.

From sanding to sealing, the project took a little over a week to complete and a time-lapse video can be seen above. It will need to sit for 10 days before being turned over to the three teams that use the court for practice in preparation for competition starting in September.

Completed in 1969, the facility is named for the late W.S. "Shep" Hanner, the school's faculty athletic chairman from 1935 to 1959. Hanner also served at various times as tennis coach, assistant football coach, professor and chairman of the Division of Exercise Sciences.
