BYU football locker room renovation underway

PROVO, Utah — With the conclusion of the winter semester, BYU Athletics has initiated its scheduled renovation of the BYU football locker room in the Student Athlete Building.

The project is the first major renovation of the locker room since the Student Athlete Building opened in 2004. Funding for the renovations comes from the SAB maintenance endowment fund that was established prior to the facility’s construction, with interest earned on the endowment devoted to the ongoing maintenance and future improvements of the facility.

“This project is possible because of the generosity of so many great Cougar fans who years ago contributed to the building of the Student Athlete Building and its endowment,” said BYU director of athletics Tom Holmoe. “Cougar Nation’s tremendous support of BYU Athletics continues to bless the lives of our student-athletes.”

Located on the main level of the Student Athlete Building, the locker room will undergo a complete interior reconstruction with upgraded amenities within the existing locker room footprint. The 75-yard long locker room, which was patterned after the locker room of the NFL’s Philadelphia Eagles, offers the football team and staff convenient access to the program’s equipment room, athletic training facilities, strength and conditioning center, practice fields and meeting rooms.

Construction on the project begins this week and will be completed this summer.
