UNLV Athletics Hall Of Fame
Also entering the hall will be Distinguished Contributor Robert "Bob" Mendenhall, who is the owner and chief executive officer of the Las Vegas Paving Corporation. A longtime supporter of the UNLV program, Mendenhall most recently became a major part of a group that is building and donating a new multi-million dollar practice facility for the Runnin' Rebels. The Mendenhall Center will be attached to the south side of the Cox Pavilion and will have a total of 38,000 square feet of space on three levels. Mendenhall invented and patented the Asphalt Recycling Process, as well as numerous other inventions that benefit the construction industry and help conserve natural resources. Las Vegas Paving was named 2005 Contractor of the Year for its work on projects such as the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, the Las Vegas Beltway, and U.S. Highway 95.
