Roof Fire Delays Construction of TTU Sports Center

Courtney Cameron Headshot

On Wednesday evening, a fire broke out on the construction site of Texas Tech’s new Sports Performance Center, as crews were adding new roofing materials. According to Michael Molina, TTU’s vice chancellor of facility planning and construction, wind may have been a contributing factor, but an investigation into the cause is ongoing.

Molina told the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal that the situation would have been much worse if not for the presence of the fire watchmen, crew members designated to monitor the site. “We reacted quickly,” he said. “Everybody did a good job doing what they needed to do and to contain the fire.”
