What is the plan for the current FB offices and locker room (that was upgraded shortly after HCBC arrived) after the operations building is completed?

Can it be reconfigured for multiple other sports teams? Where are the current locker rooms for the Baseball, softball and soccer teams?

Unless something has changed over the last few weeks it will be demolished. The current lockers and some of the existing equipment will be installed in the new facility. The old building will have to be demolished because part of it will be in conflict with the proposed sports medicine facility and new parking lot.

Everyone lockers are in Bartow. The plan is to build facilities for every sport in campus in the future.

Will they use some of that space for multiple full size fields they think can fit there? or will that come from demolishing the Ullman addition?

I don't believe anybody in the Athletics Dept will be sad to see the 7-11 bldg go down...

Demolition of part of Ullman is to make room for new construction of the football operations facility. I've seen plans for a combined baseball/softball building that includes offices and locker rooms. Soccer will have offices & locker rooms at their field when the next phase of the stadium is complete. There might be a possibility T&F locker room & offices could be combined with the soccer facility.

If you wanted to save some money, a baseball/softball/soccer/T&F joint locker room & office facility could be an option... that's just my idea, though.

When football moves out of Bartow Arena, will that provide sufficient space there for those other sports, at least until more buildings can be built?

Hopefully it'll create some space to knock some walls down to make the Green and Gold room bigger/better.
