While the Gophers athletics department has had turbulence at the top with the resignation of Norwood Teague, interim athletics director Beth Goetz said "there is not going to be any bumps in the road" with the Athletes Village construction.
Goetz said University President Eric Kaler has "assured us that we are doing this project" after Teague stepped down for his admitted involvement in sexual harassment incidents.
The Athletes Village project includes the football practice facility, football performance center, men's and women's basketball practice facility and Athletic Center for Excellence.
The oft-delayed project is now expected to break ground in September or October, but less than half of the estimated $190 million sought have been raised.
