Carbondale, IL-- Site development is proceeding on the highly anticipated, $83-million expansion and renovation of athletic facilities at Southern Illinois University-Carbondale (SIU-C) in Carbondale. A joint venture comprised of Holland Construction Services, Swansea, IL, and JE Dunn Construction, Kansas City, MO, is handling the project.

The twin centerpieces of the multiphase initiative are a new 12,000-seat football stadium with capacity for up to 15,000 fans and a renovated Saluki Arena, an 8,460-seat basketball venue. Both facilities are to be completed in time to host the home-opening games of the 2010 football and basketball seasons.

The final major component is a 53,000-square-foot, two-story addition that will emanate from the northeast face of Saluki Arena. Designed by 360 Architecture, the $11.5-million multipurpose structure will serve as the new main entrance to the arena and host its ticket office, football and basketball team facilities, an auditorium and administrative space. The facade will combine brick veneer and a glass curtain wall.
