SPRINGFIELD - Proclaiming itself the Birthplace of Basketball, Springfield College has completed a $150,000 Welcome Arch on Alden Street in the city.

The idea was to better define the eastern edge of campus and hopefully warn west-bound motorists that they are entering a busy campus with lots of pedestrians.

There is talk of doing a similar arch on the other side of campus soon, according to a news release.
