I don't remember seeing the renditions of Phase 3. If they occur, it will be an awesome entrance to the complex. Anyone have any idea as to when the phase will be implemented? Or even what needs to occur before it gets started?
Completing the PE Renovation is key before any further additions to Broadview will be considered. Having capital dollars in the bank is always the key to these types of projects.

As I recall from previous postings by others here, The Hall of Fame Room will return to its previous location in Broadview Center once work is completed in University Gym.
No, that’s not what will happen. Sports Medicine will continue to reside there until the major renovation of PE is completed.

Is the perimeter purple wall above the seating a digital screen?
No. It's just the purple accent lighting around the mezzanine walls.

Is that the new floor or old floor? Would be surprising if they’re using all that equipment over the new floor.
The main competition court is “new” with new maple boards now running east-west length wise and inlaid into the existing floor. The rest of the floor is still the former court with boards running north-south as before. The entire floor surface was sanded and refinished with new line work. When you get a closer look at it, you can see what I mean.

The PE Project involves three parts...
- Enabling - moving portions of the occupants and functions out of PE and into temp facilities (SEFCU/Broadview being one location)
- Phase 01 is the reno of the Basement and First Floor Levels.
- Phase 02 is the reno of the remainder of the PE Building.
Things may change somewhat depending on the timing and funding, but expect the work to go on for several years.

Older pictures of the work already done. Click on the picture at the bottom on the linked page.
This is what it looks like as of this afternoon...
The old floor has been cut out, conduits being removed from the slab, and the new flooring sits on palettes getting acclimated to the space before install.

Spoke to a coach today. Said the men's locker room was done, the women's more than half done. Said the arena would be done "by the end of November" so it could be earlier, that's still five months away. Was very excited about the arena.
Neither are "done" at this point. They are only framed and drywalled at this point.

Not much to see at University Gym yet
but at least the floor has been delivered. The janitor said he hoped they got it inside before it rains
That's not the floor for the PE Gym. The Gym will be getting an Omnisport series multi-sport floor system with a resilient surface. The photo above is a panelized temporary basketball court system.

More work to be done overhead before court surface is reconfigured.

A shame. A proper entrance (with a ticket booth and all) at the SEFCU/Casey side is a huge need.
There are additional phases of SEFCU, but those look to be a ways off.-

Will the exterior be renovated as well or is this 100% interior?
No exterior work in this project.

The funding page information above says it all.

The write ups on the arena specify that it’s a multi purpose facility. I don’t think a 5,000 seat arena is at all undersized for the AE. Granted, the Wall is ugly, but perhaps that gives them the most flexibility.
Looks like it might have a portable floor system, which would seem appropriate if you're trying to make it a multi-purpose facility and not a true basketball arena.
-
This coming from someone who appears to have knowledge of the BoFo plans is eyebrow-raising.
Is this concept under consideration for SEFCU renovations or am I reading to much into this post?
Reading too much into it. This is an interesting concept developed by an A/E for arena seating that they feel will enhance the event day experience vs traditional seating.

It did seem a little low .. only in relation to someone trying to throw a last second pass down the court. That's the only time I could think it may hit it, if they chuck it with an arch/rainbow throw.
The unit was lowered for the presentation today. The top of the scoreboard will sit level with the bottom of the main roof structure making it roughly 25' above the court floor from the bottom of the assembly.

I was wondering that also. Not sure if the folks on Millionaire's Row will be able to see the video screens up there.Hahah DP.
Do we know if we are doing away with the corner screens or will those still be there + the scoreboard?
Looks all four sides of the scoreboard have a video screen.
Is there a ribbon below? S eels like there is one of those round scrolling ribbons there.
Someone I know who saw it in person said that's what it was ..like the scrolling round advertisement thing.
There is a halo ring both at the top and bottom of the displays.

Also, it's not only the screen we're getting. We're getting a new sound system with it, albeit kind of small.
The included sound system is meant to supplement the existing one, not replace it.

Just curious if anyone knows what the chairs on the Sefcu walkway (that surrounds the arena.) There were several yellow seats bolted to the floor in the walkway but I think they were taped off. I didn't think to take a picture of them.
The walkway at the upper entrance was widened this year to comply with handicapped seating rules. The chairs I assume are for companions of wheelchaired fans.
I especially like the seats directly behind the video screens, the most-obstructed view seats in any arena I've ever seen.
They also taped off spots for the standing room fans.
Your assumption is correct - there are now 24 wheelchair accessible spaces, and companion seating chairs. The mezzanine was extended to allow for the new seating, so as to not restrict the former mezzanine walkway. Unfortunately, the placement of the video board came after the fact.

Was curious about 2016 policy at Old Dominion (AD's former institution) - portable stadium seats are allowed in their 20,000 seat facility according to their fan guide on the website.

Just took a look again at OSU's current game day policy at the Shoe and noted that Casey Stadium is more restrictive by not allowing items like umbrellas and seat cushions which are allowed at an OSU home game. Interesting when you think you're looking at a 100,000+ seat stadium vs. 8,000.

SEFCU Reno
in Winter Sports-Danes Hoops, Track

This was a rendering developed early on for the Athletics fitness center that will be in the renovated PE Bldg, not SEFCU Core. The final design for PE will have a similar look and feel.
