The process was already in motion. Construction on the basement of Carolina Coliseum began two years ago.
It is a coincidence that the renovations are complete after South Carolina posted its finest season.
The $4 million renovation of the former “Elephant Room” at the Coliseum is finished except for cosmetic touches and was unveiled to a small group during Monday’s Tipoff Club meeting. Frank Martin and his staff have brand-new offices (they’ve already moved in) and a showcase to sell to recruits.
All that’s left to install are graphics to adorn the walls, boasting of USC’s basketball success.
