We’ve been holding this information for a bit but $119,000,000 has been secured for Murphy Center renovations.

Hopefully they can get started within the next six months and then focus on the IPF.
The IPF was included in the request from MT to the state but that was denied for the 25-26 budget.
I said yesterday about this, with that kind of money, there should not even be a hint of cheap aluminum in this reno/addition.
Is there enough in the budget to get rid of the high school bleachers?
That's part of the master plan for sure. Who knows if it will happen with this as there may be some restrictions to focus on academic areas first. But the eventual plan is to remove the bleachers and install revenue generating box seats. I'm sure the new entry across from the SAPC can be included considering MC is used for high school graduations as well.

As I understand it : it's in the budget. It still has to go through the proper approvals, but Lee signed the budget a few weeks ago (if I'm not mistaken). That's a huge step. I don't see a way the Governor signs it and the building approvals say no, but it's always possible.
I fully expect some - if not all - of the bleachers to go away or be replaced with something more modern, visually appealing, and functional.That's part of the master plan for sure.

Personal, I'd love to see sideline box seats, a Hendrix type club along one baseline and a Clippers like "WALL" along the other baseline. Wouldn't hate it if they found a way to create a second level later down the road.
