The University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign project showcases Connor® Sports hardwood court performance in a high-level collegiate environment. Athletic programs at major universities require flooring systems that support intense competition, daily training, recruiting, fan engagement, and brand presentation.
Connor® Sports hardwood court systems are designed for facilities where performance and appearance both matter. From basketball and volleyball to multipurpose athletic use, the right court system helps deliver consistent playability, long-term durability, and a professional game-day experience.
