SAN ANTONIO, TX-- Skanska, one of the world's leading construction and development firms, joined The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) in celebrating the completion of the new Basketball & Volleyball Training Center (BVTC), a $35 million, approximately52,000-SF basketball and volleyball training facility located on the university's main campus.
Located adjacent to the Roadrunner Athletics Center of Excellence, the two-story facility serves as the daily home for UTSA's men's and women's basketball and volleyball programs. The BVTC features two full-sized NCAA practice courts, dedicated locker rooms with showers, film review rooms, team lounges, coaches' offices, and team meeting spaces. Shared amenities include a weight room, hydrotherapy and sports medicine space, and equipment and laundry facilities.
The facility represents a significant investment in the future of Roadrunner Athletics, supporting student-athlete performance, recruitment and long-term program growth. It also reflects UTSA's continued commitment to enhancing the campus experience and expanding opportunities for its students.
"UTSA continues to make meaningful investments in its students, campus and athletics programs," said Matt McCaffrey, vice president and account manager with Skanska USA Building San Antonio. "We are proud to have partnered with UTSA to deliver a facility that strengthens the student-athlete experience and supports the continued growth of Roadrunner Athletics."
Construction took place on an active campus adjacent to existing athletic facilities, requiring careful coordination to maintain access and minimize disruption to students, student-athletes and university operations throughout the project.
The BVTC is expected to play a key role in the student-athlete's collegiate career.
"The Basketball & Volleyball Training Center is a difference-maker for our basketball and volleyball student-athletes, who now have 24-hour access to practice courts in addition to state-of-the-art locker rooms, team lounges and strength & conditioning facilities," UTSA Vice President for Intercollegiate Athletics Lisa Campos said. "I want to thank Skanska, Populous, [UTSA President] Dr. [Tylor] Eighmy, the City of San Antonio, Bexar County and the many donors who have come together to support making this facility a reality."
The BVTC broke ground in December 2024 and was designed by Populous. The project was made possible through a collaborative investment that included support from UTSA, the City of San Antonio and Bexar County.

In recognition of Filipino American History Month (FAHM), HLB honors Anastacia Giron-Tupas (1890-1972), a nursing, public health, and education leader whose work to advance the nursing profession had profound impacts on the United States and worldwide.
Giron-Tupas graduated from the Philippine General Hospital (PGH) School of Nursing in 1912 and studied public health nursing at the University of Pennsylvania.

She later co-established and served as the director of the Philippines' first postgraduate public health nursing program at PGH.

SANANTONIO, TX. - October 16, 2026 - Frost & Sullivan is pleased to announce that Netradyne has been honored with the 2026 Global Product Leadership Recognition in the commercial vehicle video telematics space for its outstanding achievements in product innovation, operational efficiency, customer acquisition, and consolidated telematics. The recognition highlights Netradyne's consistent leadership in driving measurable outcomes, strengthening its market position, and delivering customer-centric innovation in an evolving competitive landscape.
Frost & Sullivan evaluates companies through a rigorous benchmarking process across two core dimensions: strategy effectiveness and strategy execution. Netradyne excelled in both, demonstrating its ability to align strategic initiatives with market demand while executing them with efficiency, consistency, and scale.
Guided by a long-term growth strategy focused on AI unified safety, an operational intelligence platform, and driver safety ecosystems, Netradyne has shown its ability to adapt and lead in a rapidly evolving landscape.

The modular hardware and software portfolio provides fleets with a flexible and scalable approach to consolidated telematics, helping organizations simplify deployment while improving safety, operational efficiency, and workforce engagement.
"A key differentiator underpinning the reliability of the Netradyne platform is its ability to analyze 100% of drive time with up to 99% AI alert accuracy. Netradyne's reliability is proven through its combination of edge-based AI processing, ruggedized hardware architecture, multisensor integration, and real-time analytics," said Aaron Roberts Manoharan, Program Manager at Frost & Sullivan.
Since its founding in 2015, the company has grown to serve more than 3,000 customers and more than 450,000 active subscribers worldwide. Its customer acquisition strategy aligns AI-powered fleet safety technology with the operational realities and performance expectations of diverse transportation fleets, including long-haul trucking, waste management, construction, moving and storage, rental operations, engineering services, and electric mobility.
The Netradyne platform further supports customer value by bringing video safety, drowsiness and fatigue management, GPS tracking, fuel analysis, maintenance insights, and HOS compliance together through a single device, interface, and subscription model. Netradyne's human-centered design, including real-time in-cab audio alerts, driver alert buttons, and visible recording indicators, supports positive driver engagement, while configurable privacy modes help address workforce privacy expectations.
Frost & Sullivan commends Netradyne for setting a high standard in competitive strategy, execution, and market responsiveness. The company's vision, innovation pipeline, and customer-first culture are shaping the future of commercial vehicle video telematics and driving tangible results at scale.
The transportation industry is moving beyond traditional video telematics toward AI-powered fleet intelligence," said Avneesh Agrawal, Founder and CEO of Netradyne. "Fleets need technology that not only provides visibility but also anticipates risk, supports drivers, and improves decision-making in real time. The recognition from Frost & Sullivan validates our vision that the future of fleet safety will be built on intelligence, not simply recording events. We remain committed to advancing technologies that help create safer roads, stronger fleet performance, and better outcomes for drivers."
Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents the Product Leadership Recognition to a company that demonstrates outstanding strategy development and implementation, resulting in measurable improvements in market share, customer satisfaction, and competitive positioning. It recognizes forward-thinking organizations that are reshaping their industries through innovation and growth excellence.
