Yesterday, more details regarding the upcoming renovations to the Kansas football stadium and the surrounding “campus gateway” project were announced in a piece from the Lawrence Journal-World.
The article covers all kinds of updates including proposals from the outside consultant that KU has hired as part of the process. There is also a rendering of what the new area could look like once the project is completed.
The unnamed consultant is recommending a 55,000-square-foot conference center, a 175-room upscale hotel, and a 2,500-seat concert and event venue among other facilities as part of the project.
