Two-story strength and conditioning center will open January 2013.

TUSCALOOSA, Alabama -- The Executive Committee of Alabama's Board of Trustees unanimously approved the immediate construction of a new, 34,495-square foot, two-story strength and conditioning facility today during a conference call.

Situated between the Crisp Indoor Practice Facility and the Mal M. Moore Athletic Facility, the new, steel-supported building is expected to be ready for January 2013.

The project is expected to cost just short of $9.1 million and will be primarily funded from future revenue bonds. The Crimson Tide Foundation is providing $965,317.

The project is on a compressed, expedited schedule, as today's decision passed it through both Stage I and Stage II of the approval process. The university received a waiver on the consultant selection process and will work once again with Birmingham-based Davis Architects, Inc. The firm, which has handled numerous Alabama athletics construction projects over the years and was recently hired to handle the Sarah Patterson Champions Plaza, is charging $599,677 for this particular venture.

At the top it's construction going on at the Bailey Track facilities. It's a 4MM upgrade that has had work being done on it for several weeks now.

With the indoor facility, we have four practice fields. BUT, just a few months ago we had five. They removed a field turf field that ran left to right in the picture above just a few weeks ago. It was located just above the ToddMedia logo on the picture.
