Francis J. Hart, S.J., the guiding force behind intramurals at Holy Cross for more than 40 years, as well as John E. Luth '74 and Joanne Chouinard-Luth, who donated $32.5 million to the College in 2015 towards renovating and expanding the athletics complex.

John E. Luth is the founding partner, chairman and chief executive officer of Seabury Group LLC, the preeminent global aviation advisory firm.

The whole complex also contains a 64,000-square-foot (5,900 m2) practice facility with 100 yards of turf, an auxiliary gym for basketball and volleyball practice, a swimming pool, rowing tanks, racquetball & squash courts, a varsity strength and conditioning gym, and locker rooms and offices for all programs.

Construction began in early 2016 and the Luth Athletic Complex was opened in April 2018.
