I have no idea if there are anymore big works on the books for other schools this winter but now that the regular season is over and since the last thread is locked I thought I would give another thread a shot. The work has already begun at Kyle on the second half of the renovation.





The implosion is scheduled for the 21st. (The good kind, not the type we saw at Kyle all season already.)

Not an expansion, but USC starts breaking ground on the plaza around Williams-Brice next week and the indoor practice facilities and new practice fields should be done by the fall

It's good that you guys are going to replace empty seats with empty boxes. I'm sure Kyle Field will look fantastic, though.

I told yall that they would start tearing down the stadium after big brother beat them on Turkey day.

ETA: This is going to a slow thread this offseason. A&M and OM are the only ones with venues under construction.

ETA: and UK

That's great. Y'all need to keep Missouri's home away from home in A-1 shape.

Florida has no expansion plans in work (there's no room), but they are looking at building an IPF. If they build one, it will only be 70 yards long.

What's burning in the background? The trademark paperwork for Kenny Trill?

UK has set up a nice renovation website with before and potential after pictures (they're interactive so I couldn't post them).

Here's what we have going on (facility wise)

Our student-athlete nutrition center is suppose to break ground before the end of the month. Was approved by our BoS earlier this month. Athletes will eat here, learn how to cook healthy meals, etc.





Our Gymnastic Facility which broke ground a few months ago

UK's new baseball stadium is in the material study phase. The 7,500 seat facility will be located near Commonwealth Stadium.



This pic shows the orientation of the $32 mil facility.

Around this time next year the O'Dome renovation, new IPF and academic center should be complete.

There are no official renderings of the O'Dome or IPF yet, should see them soon. Here is the academic center:

Mizzou is currently feeling out architects and preliminary proposals for the South Endzone Expansion. Construction could start as soon as November of 2016.

I'm curious, is there a project expenditure breakdown for the stadium and facilities you've just built?

I'd like to see what different parts of it, locker room, weight room, etc costs are.

espn has this blurb:

quote:

The 36,000-square foot renovation, which includes a barbershop and flatscreen televisions in the mirrors, is part of a $32 million improvement of the Bright Complex.

The new Lohman Center lobby inside of Bright, which cost $4 million, and the R.C. Slocum Nutrition Center ($12 million), where the athletes eat, were completed last year. The other $16 million is allotted for the new locker rooms, training rooms and meeting rooms (seen below) as well as the third-floor coaches offices, which will begin renovation next February with a scheduled July 2015 completion.
