- New field turf on Shelly Ellig Field at Lokken Stadium
- A freshly recovered track at Lokken Stadium
- A new Scoreboard and Video Board for Shelly Ellig Field at Lokken Stadium

The BIGGEST upgrade, however, is currently in the last stretch until completion!

The $10.3 Million Renovation and Addition to our Rhoades Science Center has been underway since November 2011 and is projected to be complete for the end of Summer 2013. The progress they've made so far is amazing and students are currently attending class in the brand new addition, while renovations are underway in the original building.

If you want to see facts about the new building and pictures of what the completed project will look like - you can find it here.

You can also see pictures of the construction here or come visit us on campus and see it up close and personal!
