Board of Regents Approve $20 million in facility updates for Football

The Football Training Facility  project would relocate and expand the
space for football operations from the current location within the Jacobson and Olsen Buildings
to a facility to be attached and with interior connections to the Bergstrom Indoor Training Facility
to provide one consolidated location for the football program.  A map showing the location of the
proposed facility is included as Attachment C.  
The Olsen and Jacobson Buildings currently house the football operations offices, team meeting
rooms, strength training, athletic training, equipment room, locker rooms and general facility
rooms.  There is no longer space available in these facilities to adequately meet the functional
needs of the football program.  In addition to housing these functions in expanded space, the
new Football Training Facility will provide a team meeting room to seat the entire squad and a
strength training room setup specifically for time efficient workouts to maximize player potential.
The schematic design booklet is included with the Board’s agenda materials.  The project
budget of $20.6 million would be funded by athletic debt financing / private giving.
