Basketball practice facility on UConn's BOT agenda?

2

Here's a link to the PDF of the agenda of the upcoming Sept. 21 meeting of the UConn Board of Trustees. Noteworthy (for our purposes): the BOT will have a resolution recommending funds be set down for the design of a basketball practice facility to be constructed on the site of Memorial Stadium. The letter of recommendation from UConn's CFO and COO and proposed budget begin on page 48 of the 158-page document. The proposal calls for $3 million dollars in private donations to help cover design costs. No official word on how much the actual building will cost, but figure a lot more than $3 million. If all goes well, the facility would be finished in 2014, according to page 151 of the agenda.
