BU Facilities

[mexicobufan]

I have been following the construction of the new mens facility on the BU board. There has not been anything new in some time and considering they should be getting close I keep hoping to see new photos. Anyone have some pull and can get some new pictures up?

I was kind of curious. My son will be going to basketball camp this summer. I wondered if he would get to play a day in the new building.

The inside is nearing completion. Athletics will begin moving in this summer into fall. The Hall of Fame/museum portion may not be completely ready for the public when volleyball season starts and there will undoubtedly be some kinks the first few months.

Trustees were granted a walkthru during their spring quarterly meeting.

Can we get some current pictures posted for us out of town guys? They had been fairly frequent on the BU board until lately.

The University hasn't published any updates recently and outside of the media sneak peak in the last month or two, only a very few campus officials have been through.

As best I can tell the Construction Update page is either no longer active or has not been updated recently.

I accidentally stumbled over by there with a friend the night of my birthday....I think it looks like everything is swell.

There are pics and videos available of the various projects.

I see some new stuff on the Alumni center but nothing new at all on the athletic facility? Am I missing it?

The only thing really new on the update page is the little story about the new arena floor being painted.

But you can bookmark the page or set up RSS and get official updates whenever they are posted.

That treadmill in the whirlpool looks interesting.

The last update is still the March 19th posting??? I thought for sure someone on here had the conections to make this happen.

Let me ask a stupid question.........what is the difference between the Puterbaugh Mens basketball facility and the Athletic Performance center? Is it one building or two?

There are supposed to be two gyms in the new facility. The Puterbaugh Mens basketball facility is an area where the men will practice which looks really nice and the Athletic Performance center would be the main court where the Women's team and the volleyball team would play their games. That is my understanding at least.
