The wait is over.
Following a one-year delay, the University of Florida announced Tuesday it’s moving forward with its planned renovation of the Stephen C. O’Connell Center. UF has agreed to terms with construction firm Brasfield & Gorrie with the cost for the project set at $64.5 million.
The University of Florida and the University Athletic Association are partnering to fund the project.
Although visual signs of work like construction fences around the O’Connell Center will be visible as early as October, it will remain fully operational until the massive overhaul begins in the spring of 2016.
