Per Arkley on Twitter, funding goals have been reached and they are hoping to start construction in the fall.

Story should be on the Messenger website sometime tonight.

I'm just flat out happy about the addition of a track to the IPF. It's a first-class choice and really goes in line with all of the positive changes seen athletically at this university. Without a track, we were really handicapping our potential growth as an athletic program. Now all options are back on the table.

McDavis and Schaus probably pushed hard for this. I can't thank them enough for that. I'm not sure how or where they got the student feedback mentioned in the article, but I can attest to the demand. A lot of friends I know, some indifferent toward athletics, thought the absence of a track in the IPF design was plain stupid.


This is awesome!!  This will allow all the athletic teams to be able to work out and condition in proper facilities during the Winter months.  This should help not only Track, but all the Spring Sports!

Hopefully they name this facility after Solich (Solich Center?) for all he's done here because this building wouldn't have been possible without him.

A long night could have been avoided with this center.

Last evening.   The first Sunday of band 110 band camp is the day/night that all prospective members have their music audition in Glidden (music bldg) and then in the evening  each auditions outdoors on the field  for the marching audition.  Except the marching auditions were pushed back because of lightning strikes in Athens.
