I would like to commend the leadership of the Board of Governors, whose foresight helped make this project possible, and the university as it embarks on this new venture. This facility will serve the campus and the region in many ways, as a center for both learning and cultural activities, as well as for economic growth. Currently, the largest venue on campus is the Memorial Field House, which seats a maximum of 3,000 people. It also can serve as a drawing card for all types of businesses and visitors to the area. The design phase for the center will take approximately one year to complete.
Projects become eligible for state funds when the matched funds are in place.
