Even so, Frizzi said, the six light poles already in place are aligned and are working well enough to light evening soccer practices. The Sara Tracy project brought 140 additional parking spaces to campus. Frizzi said it was substantially complete by Aug. 15, but could not be finalized until the paving for the new tennis courts was done in early September. The courts are located on the creek bank side of the track opposite the grand stands. Fencing for the new courts is in place and crews are working on posts for the nets.
Plans call for a green playing surface with a red out-of bounds area.
I don't know the technical problems we might encounter going into the fall. We'll make every effort for completion by the end of 1997, but we don't want to jeopardize quality. At Swint Hall, the top floor is complete with the heating and cooling units now fully operational. The main floor is substantially complete except for the installation of a box office and a bay window at a former entrance. On the ground floor, Frizzi said crews are pushing to get the shell enclosed.
