https://www.marshall.edu/board/files/June-12-2024-Board-of-Governors-Regular-Meeting.pdf-Athletic Band & Sport Performance Upgrade
Renovate existing athletic training space/band space on A level of the arena and turn it into improved AT area for
all athletes in building. Also, partner with University sports science department to provide additional lab area.
Transform band space into strength & conditioning space.
-Athletic Facility Signage/Naming Project
Renovate exterior athletic facility signage by removing existing and replacing with uniformed consistent brand across
all facilities.
-Henderson Center/Gullickson Hall HVAC
Henderson Center Arena is not air conditioned. This area is underutilized. If an appropriate HVAC system is
installed, this facility could become a venue for special events well beyond its utility for basketball and
volleyball. Currently there is no heating, ventilation, or air conditioning in the Gullickson Hall Gymnasium. Space
temperatures will drop into the 50-degree range during the winter months and into the 90-degree range during the
summer. A climate-controlled space would increase the utilization of the space. Safety concerns for physical
activity in extreme elevated temperatures during the summer months and low temperatures in the winter months would
be eliminated if the space had an HVAC system.
-Henderson Center Creative Suite Upgrades
Upgrade all signage/video production equipment/monitors for creative team. They use this space to shoot social
media, headshots, make videos, hold press conferences and more to promote our athletic programs.
- Henderson Center Student/Band Bleacher Replacement
Student and band bleachers in facility are in state of disrepair and result in safety concerns for students and
visitors that sit in the section. Frequent maintenance is needed.
-Intramural Field Space
Building of a new recreational field on or near the main campus. The number of students who take part in intramural
sports has vastly increased over the past years. The current multi-purpose field is in such high demand it cannot
handle the current intramural sports.
-JCE Stadium/HC Arena Premium Seating
Renovate targeted seating areas in both the stadium and arena to offer various new& diverse premium seating options.
-Joan C Edward Stadium Concourse Gates Expansion
Stadium concourse areas need to be expanded to allow more space for spectator and help with emergency egress.
Improves functionality and safety in preparation for campus carry.
-Joan C Edwards Stadium North Videoboard Removal
Remove old videoboard from the Shewey Building in north endzone of football stadium.
-Joan C. Edwards Stadium Restroom Renovations
The Stadium restrooms are in dire need of renovations. Steel urinals and wash basins need to be replaced. Walls,
ceilings, and doors need to be painted. Light fixtures need to be replaced with high efficiency fixtures. Project
will improve functionality and aesthetics and improves spectator amenities.
-Joan C Edwards Stadium South Bleacher Removal
Remove obsolete, unused, and unsafe bleachers in south endzone of football stadium. This will create a much safer
environment and added opportunities for revenue generation.
-Joan C Edwards Stadium South Endzone Project
Enhance stadium aesthetic and concessions/suite/restroom areas. Plan would involve removing bleacher seating, built
out concourse/restrooms/concession opportunities. Increase suite space & premium seating options.
-Natatorium & Tennis Center
Build an off-site joint facility with natatorium & tennis complex with courts both inside and out. This facility
would be state-of-the-art and provide our athletes with top-notch experience. We would look to partner with health
professionals and incorporate a sports medicine and science component that could be utilized by the public, as well
as athletics. The facility would also be ran by our coaching staffs for outside rentals/clinics etc.
-Outdoor Track & Soccer Training Complex
There is currently no outdoor track for the women's track and field team. The track is needed for practice and
competitions. Grass soccer field inside the track as well, to augment our soccer programs.
-Sand Volleyball Courts
Future championship sport in the Sun Belt Conference. Should we add, will need to acquire land to support five
competition sand volleyball courts adjacent to one another.
-Shewey Athletic Building Renovations
-Tennis Courts Sub-Surface and Replacement
Safety Concern-Tennis court surface currently has numerous cracks and low areas. The courts are unsafe and not to the
standards for NCAA Division I tennis. Improvements installation of bleacher on the north end of the Courts.
-Track & Field/Swimming/ Locker Room Renovations
Our track & field, swim and softball programs have deficient locker room spaces in comparison to some of our athletic
programs. It is imperative that we provide equitable training and auxiliary spaces for our student-athletes across
the board.
