WVU Coliseum has asbestos concerns

On Friday, it was discovered that the WVU Coliseum may have asbestos.

This is fairly bad timing as the WVU Coliseum is currently undergoing a major renovation. Upgrades to the facility include the addition of new concession venues, a widening of the main concourse and renovating luxury levels of the building.

Classrooms for the College of Physical Activity and Sports Science that once were in the upper level of the WVU Coliseum have recently been moved out and placed in a new building on the Evansdale Campus.

It’s hard to tell if the asbestos concerns will derail the current state of the construction process.
