Anticipated Cost, Start Date, Designs For Fifth Third Arena Renovations Revealed
An updated Request for Qualifications has been administered by the University of Cincinnati for renovations on Fifth Third Arena. UC issued a RFQ way back in October that laid out their desired cost, timeline, and overview of upgrades for the two-decade old venue.
Now that Populus Architexture firm Populous has been tabbed to draw up the designs, it’s been updated to reflect a more realistic estimate of costs and the like. Here’s a rundown of the major nuggets I’m most interested in if you don’t want to read the whole thing.
Anticipated cost is $80 million all in, up from $70 million in the initial RFQ.
UC hopes to identify a construction firm by September of this year.
