Already closed 4th St. fences up and road being torn out... This project has begun! A lot of construction going on campus and near downtown area right now with more to come!

Bittersweet to see a building I spent majority of my college time in, undergo major renovation. Should be a beautiful building when completed (ISU has done a tremendous job with renovations the past 8+ years), but sad to see a building with many memories not recognizable anymore. But it's for the better!

sidenote: there are lot of "things" in that building like practice basketball court, volleyball court, weight training center, basketball offices, track offices, uniform storage room, locker rooms for multiple sports teams, a giant north gym where track practices for indoors. is everything going to be remodeled? or is it more towards the academic rooms/offices in the building?

Track/Cross Country Offices, Baseball Offices, Softball Offices all moving to 55 Eagle St. (Indoor Baseball Hitting Complex along 1st St.). They are currently renovating the north side of that building and that is where they will be relocated to by the end of May.

I understand the bittersweet sentiment. I only had a few classes in the the Arena, but I did get to see some excellent wrestling, gymnastics, swimming and basketball there. A big part of what made college exciting was centered in that building.
