Murdock Stadium construction on track for graduation

After being torn down in the end of 2013, the new Murdock Stadium is set to be ready enough to host this year’s graduation.

The $40 million new stadium will have a track and artificial turf field, which have both been installed already. The new stadium will also house athletic training rooms and will have seating for 8,000 people.

“It won’t be totally complete,” Director of Facilities, Tom Brown said. ” We hope to have substantial completion by May.”

Punch list items such as pouring concrete for sidewalks and installing lockers are some of the things that still need to be completed, according to Brown.

Brown also said that there is no official date for completion, but the bulk of the work will be completed by May.

In the mean time, temporary asphalt will be put down in the area near the stadium entrance before construction begins on the new Gym. The new gym will be on the south end of the stadium and there is no completion date for that project at the time, according to Brown.
