The University of Kentucky’s campus-wide facelift has touched almost every corner of campus. Gatton shines bright on Limestone, the new Academic Science Building beams from Rose Street and on the south side Kroger Field casts a shadow over the construction site of the new baseball stadium.
Every significant site on campus has undergone change, except “The House that Rupp Built,” Memorial Coliseum.
The former home of the Wildcats men’s basketball team was built in 1950 and is currently the home for women’s basketball, volleyball and gymnastics. It’s received minor upgrades throughout the years, but Mitch Barnhart told the Herald-Leader he’s ready to give the Coliseum a proper renovation.
