Good sports await Carpenter renovations

The Carpenter Sports Building, one of the busiest locations on campus, is under renovation.

Located adjacent to UD's historic district near Old College, the structure was built in 1942 and has had many additions over the years. It is used by students, faculty, staff, alumni and thousands of visitors--from parents to to intramural teams to fitness enthusiasts.

The latest $14.3 million renovation of the 167,000-square-foot building will continue until September 2000.

The renovation project includes improvements to the electrical, heating, ventilation and air- conditioning systems and the addition of an elevator.

Other highlights include the creation of an outdoor recreation center and a new rock climbing wall; renovation of the front gym, including a new floor, and installation of new bleachers and a new training room; renovation of the back gym and the Employee Fitness Center; expansion of the Student Fitness Center and creation of a new student lounge off the front lobby.
