The following artist renditions were released by the board.
"Today's decision is the next step in the process to
build our new Indoor Athletic Facility," J. Reid Parker Director of
Athletics Greg McGarity said. "We will now be able to share the
impressive interior and exterior renderings of the facility with everyone. From
a functional and aesthetic standpoint, this facility will be transformational
for our entire athletic program."
The facility will be programmed for maximum functionality,
as it will be approximately 140 yards long, 80 yards wide and 76 feet high,
adding nearly 109,000 square feet of space.
"It's exciting to see the project continuing to move
forward," Coach Mark
Richt said. "We're appreciative of the support provided by
President Morehead, Greg McGarity, the Athletic Association Board and Board of
Regents. This will be the best indoor facility in the country!"
The announcement comes on the heels of the recent
renovations and improvements to Sanford Stadium that fans will see this coming
season.
On-campus indoor athletic facilities are commonplace in
collegiate athletics. With the addition of this facility, weather will no
longer have an impact on game preparation. The project will be funded through a
combination of donor support and athletic department reserves.
The Indoor Athletic Facility will serve as the first
component of a larger campaign UGA Athletics hopes to unveil soon which will be
referred to as the Georgia Excellence Campaign.

the development of the Indoor Athletics Facility please contact Mónica
