Look's great! But that is a lot of parking being taken away (along with the Continuing Studies building).

Yeah, although many of the spots in the parking lot where the tennis facility is going were roped off and not used anyway. Have to think a parking garage is coming at some point.

Here is the rendering from @RiceOwlsDotCom:

Looks good. Tennis teams have done well and hopefully this new facility will aid in scaling greater heights.

I'm going to miss not being able to stop in and watch tennis while coming or going from baseball games. I wish there had been enough land to keep it where it currently is (and since the Youngkin academic center is right next door).

A new revenue stream for RU. If folks are complaining about the walk from outer lots to The Reck, just imagine the fussing and fuming when they have to PAY to park 05-stirthepot

What is the plan for the Jake Hess site once this new facility opens? I am assuming it gets the wrecking ball. Parking lot?

Don't know yet. The University hasn't decided what to do with it.

Am I wrong? That looks like it is in the North-East corner of the East stadium lot by the grass practice field
