Hooray plexiglass!

Since the ramps will remain in the north lobby, here is where one of the escalators will go...poor guy better get out of the way:

Interior photos. Note how much nicer the east hallway looks with new flooring and lighting...

Edit: App isn't letting me post links. Go to the Photo Galleries Section at iuhoosiers.com. Click on "Fans" on the upper menu.

Looks weird with no seats. Can't wait to see the new scoreboard going up.

Construction crews have completed 14 months of work at the future site of Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall.

Progress in May included East Corridor Terrazzo vitrification, completion of the north ADA slab, wood flooring replacement, and setting of the South Mechanical Room Air Handlers. Miscellaneous work still in process includes the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing installation, interior painting, Spirit of 76 Club concrete seating, acoustic cielings, and North Bleacher modifications. Also in progress is the high roofing, escalator pits, and the elevator.

This month, they will be fireproofing the balcony level, re-installing the North Bleachers, continuing to vitrificate the Terazzo, and completing the concession renovations. The upcoming milestones for this project include completing the concourse restrooms by July, and the punch list in August.

Not gonna lie. This is the thread That interests me the most this summer. Thanks to all who have provided pictures/updates. Seriously.

May need to zoom in...things are starting to get cleaned up. The pic on the right shows the new stair well in the south lobby. Escalators will surround it. There will be two sets of this set up in that lobby. The north will still have ramps, but with new escalators too. The new elevator (a total of 3) is being installed as well.

More of the clear railings are in. They also expanded the north ADA seating substantially. They're adjusting the setup of the bleachers. I'll try to find an overhead pic.

More room on the north end. This is from last month. It's complete now with a transparent railing for better viewing.

I'm anxious to see what the light is like coming through the glass on the south side. Surely that won't effect a day game right?

I'm sure there are people getting paid lots of money to think of that stuff. Besides, only the bottom half of the south wall will have light coming through, as the top half will be enclosed into a club area. And then you have the lobby filtering some of it.

Concessions already look nicer...each stand will have 2 more points of sale than before. They will also have the menus on monitors next to monitors showing the game.
