Is this still a go to start construction soon or did the pandemic delay this for a while?

They have statues to take down and buildings to rename...that takes cash now.
Welcome center will have to take a back burner.

I think the only construction project moving forward right now is the renovation of Tidwell since there was gift money in hand to pay for it.
Don't forget the Tiny Arena.
I believe it is still a go and in the design and bid stage. I also don't think they want it to open until all the awful I-35 construction is complete adjacent to the site. I expect we will see sitework begin the first half of next year.
Architecture and planning work are still underway with the Hurd Welcome Center.

Still like the Hurd Howdy Hut.

Sometimes this place needs a shot of reality. Without a full season of football and Baylor facing budget cuts across all departments I would imagine the Tiny Arena is on the back burner for a while.

So, we're changing our culture to unfriendly, cryptic, and randomly angry. Got it.

It is like the Hurd Welcome Center, in the planning stages. Also in negotiations with the areas it will be built. Does Waco want it in one of several locations or does Baylor build it next to the FC? With all the hotels going in downtown, Waco should want it near them, but I'm not on a board in Waco to make the decision or speed up their processes.Stranger said:boxster said:Feel better?Stranger said:

Excellent idea

I'm telling you, place the arena where the visitor's center is planned and call it IVY SQUARE GARDEN...

I'd be all for it
would there ba a Shoneys entrance on the north end and an IHOP entrance on the south?Yogi said:Brian Ethridge said:It is like the Hurd Welcome Center, in the planning stages.

Would the Ivy Square Garden video board show the Rocky Horror Picture Show?
Illigitimus non carborundum
Great memories of my first viewing of Brad, Janet and Tim Curry in action at the iconic Ivy Square Theater in '77.
Saw the movie "Glory" at the Ivy Twin in '89. Whenever someone opened the theater door the lights from the hallway dimmed the movie screen. But it was still great!

that would be the best
Saw an Eddie Murphy movie there in '87, the Golden Child. I think my rommate and I were the only white people there. Good time!Grumpy said:

Having the new basketball stadium be in that location (right by I-35, and the freshman dorms) would be great.

Crazy. I saw Glory there in '89 also. Probably the only movie I ever saw there.
Personally, I wish they would fuse the new Welcome Center and the new Arena somehow.
My true ideal would be new basketball arena, new welcome center, new Baylor Sports Hall of Fame, new SUB, and new Baylor Bookstore all under one golden roof near 35. Could be pretty special, imo.

plans for the basketball pavilion are also still moving forward. I heard some optimistic news on that front this week. Probably delayed a year due to COVID, but still on track.
Might the news have included a hint on location?Ashley Hodge said:

We tazed a perfectly good IHOP for this? In the future I wish the administration would be more sensitive to the needs of students who are working off a hangover before returning to campus. What if a student craves all-you-can-eat pancakes at 3:00 AM, where do they go?
