With the opening of the Burrows-Burleson Tennis Center in the spring of 1992, Virginia Tech added another first-class athletic complex to a group of athletic facilities already considered to be one of the finest in the East.

The tennis center, located across from Lane Stadium, offers six outdoor courts with bleacher seating, six indoor courts with a mezzanine viewing area with bleachers, locker rooms, coaches' offices, a team room and a social area.

The tennis center was made possible by gifts from Dave and Betty Burrows of Roanoke; their son Jack Burrows and his wife Lee, of Roanoke; and their daughter Beverly and her husband, Bobby Burleson, of Tallahassee, Fla. Jack Burrows and Bobby Burleson were teammates on Tech's tennis team in the late 60's. Jack was an NCAA participant and is a member of the Virginia Tech Sports Hall of Fame.
