Sigh... The board just approved $10 million in facility improvements. We are still a state school. We don't have unlimited funds.

Before the podcast tonight, please review the timelines for athletic facility upgrades. The items listed above are on the scheduled timeline and the $2.2 million for the football locker rooms is ahead of schedule.

And the board will be discussing War Memorial on Friday as well. It's showing $8 million in renovations

File this under 'I need to see the construction trucks on site to believe it.'

They've literally been telling us about renovations coming to War Memorial stadium for years.

i was about to say the same thing. let's just hope it doesn't take as long to renovate the locker room as its taking to renovate war memorial stadium...

Talking about it and appropriating the money are two different things. Those are line items now.

[Bornthrilla]

They announced money was already appropriated last year. There have been powerpoints and everything.

[bluehaze]

Well something was not finalized, because it's on the agenda to be talked about on Friday.

Once it's done and completed, I wonder how many will take credit for the completion of this project from their advocating

based on the notes from the retreat slide 12 shows projected times of when facility improvements are to happen. Looks like based on this we are in the time frame of when things are to get done.

You should take credit. Your endless patience has given them the necessary time decade to finally make it happen.

i remember a power point slide that depicted that we'd begin construction on an aggie stadium renovation on sullivan street projected to break ground in 2020. that's how much power point slides mean at this juncture at a&t. most aggies done forgot about that promised renovation. i guess that's why coach brown put his office renovation in his contract...

I'm patient beacause i understand how funding works in the university system because I sit on a board of Trustees for a community College. Things that should take 6 months end up taking years for various reasons.

Espically when u don't have a donor base to pay for things. It's a reason why A&T takes forever and High Point University can get things done overnight.
