As many students may have heard, there has recently been a bit of damage done to the court in the Capital Center Arena.
Back in January, the severe weather brought about through the numerous Polar Vortexes caused a rupture in a waterline which greatly damaged the court and may have even weakened its structural integrity.
“We are working with a specialty contractor and our insurance agent to dry out the floor,” Athletic Director Steve Bruning said.
“Repairs will be made as necessary now that basketball season is over. The damage to the floor was the result of a ruptured sprinkler line during the early January severe weather.”
Little is known about the actual extent of the damage and the university has yet to provide a figure on the total cost of the repairs or a time frame in which they expect the repairs to be completed.
For now the Arena will remain under construction as they sort out this problem with students hoping that it will be fixed by the time graduation rolls around.
