The UCF Board of Trustees approved six projects this Thursday to make changes to the university’s football stadium and athletic village.
These renovations are all a part of the “UCF Athletics Association Football Campus Projects” which will transform the school’s athletic facilities to help recruit and retain student-athletes and coaches, according to the Board of Trustee’s document.
Here is a list of the six approved projects:
· Stadium South Tower: This project will add offices, club lounges, hospitality areas and executive leadership levels to the tower. Additionally, 4,600 bench seats will be removed to add more space for club lounge seating.
· Football Practice Field Relocation: Football practice field #1 will be moved to create the McNamara Cove
· McNamara Cove: A “Recovery River” resistance pool, patios and decks will be added for football players
· Parking and Plaza Expansion: Lots will be reconstructed to provide premium gameday parking. This will also serve as a major entry and exit point for the stadium
· Wayne Densch Sports Center Renovation: Expansion of player locker rooms, meeting spaces and training areas
· Stadium North Tower: Approximately 5,000 seats will be added near the student section on the north end. Walkways will include new restrooms and concessions
The UCF Board of Trustees approved $4.8 million to help kickstart the designs for the project.
It is projected that the total cost of the all the renovations under the “UCF Athletics Association Football Campus Projects” will cost close to $125 million.
