A new facility that includes locker, sports medicine, and equipment rooms for Rochester’s outdoor sports teams will be named in recognition of the support of former Yellowjacket soccer standout Christopher Boehning ’87, ’88 (MS) and his wife, Julie.

The Boehning Varsity House, which will occupy the field level of Genesee Hall, the University’s newest residence hall at the south end of Fauver Stadium, will be named in recognition of the couple’s support.

The Boehning Varsity House is the latest addition to the Brian F. Prince Athletic Complex, established in 2014 and part of an ongoing effort to improve the University’s athletic facilities, which began with a renovation of the Robert B. Goergen Athletic Center in 2000.

A partner at the law firm of Paul Weiss Rifkind Wharton & Garrison LLP in New York City, Boehning chairs both the Athletic Campaign Committee and the Arts, Sciences & Engineering National Council, and is a member of Friends of Rochester Athletics. He and Julie also provide support to Rochester Athletics through the George Eastman Circle, the University’s leadership annual giving society.

Genesee Hall is scheduled to be open to about 150 first-year students when they arrive for the fall 2017 semester.

A dedication ceremony for the Boehning Varsity House is scheduled for Meliora Weekend in October.
