Construction will be delayed for a year. A new design featuring a far better looking East Side than the original plans. New architectural drawings highlight the use of metal facing and glass. The look will be so much better than the present plans. Drawing and specifications are being ordered. Completion date will be the start of the 2018 football season.
Would've been nice to have it done this year coming off an appearance in the national championship. Wonder how different its going to look from the renderings when the announcement was first made ?
They still need more funding. The Penguin Club is also ante up some money. From what I heard they were going to try to do it cheaper and that was squashed they want to do it right.
I've been told by a couple folks that it will be built this year. If I hear otherwise I'll post, but I'd imagine it will be ready for next school year/season.
Wish we could move the tennis courts to a different area on campus, preferably over by the softball stadium and soccer field so we can put a parking lot over there behind the east side. Wishful thinking haha....
I would imagine construction would have to start sometime this month in order to get this thing built in time, no ?

I went past there today and the eastside shanty is still up. I want the new one up this year, but I also want it done right. That new steel structure at Fifth and Lincoln, is that the new 2 story bookstore going up? Lots of construction going on around the campus including Wick Avenue. I remember reading that after Wick is done this fall they are going to do the same to Fifth next year. It needs it.
