Indiana University (IU) will build a $110 million multipurpose athletics center that will provide additional indoor space for sporting and athletic events for the university and downtown Indianapolis. The project has been approved, but a construction date has not been announced.
The IU Board of Trustees approved the project during its June 14 session. The university will use $89 million in state appropriations to fund the project, taken from the state’s biennial budget. IU will match the state’s contribution with $21 million to fund the project.
The 134,000-square-foot athletics center will be able to seat up to 4,500 spectators. The facility will feature a multipurpose arena, an auxiliary gym and community gathering spaces. In addition, the building will include around 16,000 feet of office space and additional athletics support spaces. [Government Market News]

After 12 years of teaching physical education classes in portable classrooms, a new state-of-the-art athletics facility will open this fall at La Costa Canyon High School.
Edwin Mendoza, a communications coordinator for San Dieguito Union High School District, said the Maverick Athletic Center, or The MAC, will include PE classrooms, a turf field, an outdoor basketball court and a “cutting-edge” weight room. (Watch the video rendering of the new facility here.)
The MAC is part of the $449 million Proposition AA bond initiative to upgrade the school district’s classrooms and facilities. [The Coast News Group]
