Flythrough Renderings of Athletes Village Released
8/31/2016 12:00:00 AM | Athletics
The University of Minnesota unveiled three new video flythroughs earlier today that offer the most immersive preview to-date of spaces within the new Athletes Village. These new videos are available at NothingShortOfGreatness.com under the "Facilities Details" tab.
While these videos are renderings and some elements will still change, in particular branding and graphics such as those seen on walls throughout the facility, they provide a vision of what these areas will look like once completed.
The videos focus on three core areas within the new structures. The first tours the Land O'Lakes Center for Excellence, showcasing the main lobby, the Nutrition Center and the Leadership Development Center. The tour of the Basketball Development Center, which will be the new hub for Gopher women's and men's basketball, showcases a coaches' entry, a recruiting lounge, one of the practice courts (each program will have 1.5 courts) and court-level spaces including a training room, a strength and conditioning space and a locker room. The last of the three flythroughs tours the Football Performance Center and Indoor Practice Facility, highlighting the locker room, strength and conditioning, training room, players' lounge and the indoor field.
Construction continues on the Athletes Village, with crews currently working on footings, foundations and structural steel. Fundraising for the project also continues, with the goal of fully funding the project through private contributions.
