Texas Tech athletic director Kirby Hocutt says he’s confident construction can begin in the spring on a 159,000-square-foot Sports Performance Center with more than $44 million raised toward the $48 million project.
The combination facility for the football and track and field programs is now the near-team focus of Tech’s ongoing “Campaign for Fearless Champions,” which has funded 13 of a proposed 25 sports facilities projects.
To begin construction on the Sports Performance Center in the spring, Hocutt said the additional $3.8 million needs to be raised by March 1.
The Tech athletic director gave several updates at a Friday afternoon news conference and celebration on a Jones Stadium suite level.
