After the completion of the 2018 sports season, Arizona will begin renovations on athletic facilities. These renovations will include changes to Arizona Stadium, Hillenbrand Stadium, Hillenbrand Aquatic Center and McKale Center. In addition, an indoor sports center will be built across the street from the current Arizona Stadium.
The Arizona Board of Regents approved Director of Athletics Dave Heeke’s $66 million Capital Improvement Plan to upgrade UA’s sports facilities in September 2017. All of the renovations are expected to be completed by January 2019, just in time for the next spring season of Arizona sports.
“The first shot out of the box that we want to make sure that people recognize is that we’re doing things that directly benefit the student,” said Steve Kozachik, associate director of athletics, facilities and capital projects at UA, in a press release.
