The university is moving the indoor track and field facility from Green Hall to a plush, $30 million complex underneath the LU monogram that will rival the other facilities in the nation that boast hydraulic banking.
When completed next month, the 130,000-square-foot facility will feature about 1,500 permanent seats; a six-lane track; and an eight-lane warm-up track below an elevated team area. It also will have accommodations for field events that can be held concurrently with track, as well as locker rooms, a coaches’ hospitality room, concession stands, training rooms and offices.
A new 75,000-square-foot natatorium for the university’s swimming and diving team will be connected to the track and field facility and completed in July.
