Very curious to see what (especially sports related) uses these areas have in the future. Personally I’d like to see dhub paved back over and used for parking/tailgating

JMU is presently dealing with a $30 million deficit created by the pandemic. All new (or future/planned) construction is on temporary hold. Old baseball fields and field houses, as well as a $1 million gift to build a new facility at Sentara Park, are postponed. DHub was always temporary, and it will eventually be decommissioned and removed.

If you’re interested, google the current JMU Masterplan. It’s online and has been available to the public for years.

Definitely is unfortunate about the construction halt, but completely understandable. I was on campus this weekend for the first time in months and was able to see the near final version of the new convo - it very impressive in person, as is the new dukes/top dog!

As for the master plan, I asked those questions because I haven't seen any information in the 2017 master plan regarding those things and was curious what others thought might happen with those, specifically the old convo.
