Eastern Kentucky University’s Baptist Health Arena at Alumni Coliseum is now in full-fledged renovation mode. The home to basketball and volleyball athletics and many other activities is closed. Plans now call for temporarily re-opening next January for the ASUN basketball season and 2025 graduation ceremonies. EKU President David McFaddin said the new facility will offer new opportunities.
“I will say that we will have to phase that work a little bit. We will be back open, we’ll be competing and using the space. But, there will be some things that we’ll have to fine-tune, even after we open on January 1. Probably taking us through the better part of 2025 to really put a bow on it and have it just as it needs to be,” said McFaddin.
