TERRE HAUTE, Ind – Indiana State University officials say that the Hulman Center renovation project that currently underway, is on time and on budget halfway through the construction.

“We’re right on schedule for what will be a modern multipurpose facility serving the Wabash Valley for decades to come,” said Bryan Duncan, Indiana State University’s director of capital planning and improvements.

 

University officials planned the two-year, $50-million project to allow commencement and men’s and women’s basketball games to continue at the Hulman Center during construction.

Duncan said that while work will stop for events, people should know it’s an active construction zone that’s a year away from completion. He added “We’re asking folks to be patient with things like dust from ongoing work. A year from now, Hulman Center will look like the renderings. It will be worth the wait.”

 

A new lighting system is complete, creating a much brighter court, and a lot of the work on the facade is finished, showing the building’s updated look.

The south entrance and concourse will be closed, and concessions will be limited to pre-packaged containers to ensure proper food safety.

Restrooms will be limited until mid-January, but people will notice that the new restrooms are much larger.

Hulman Center opened in 1973.
