University of Minnesota interim athletics director Beth Goetz announced Thursday at a Board of Regents meeting that the school's track teams will have a new home, and that an additional $5 million has been raised for the Athletes Village project.
Goetz, accompanied for her presentation by associate AD Dan O'Brien, said the men's and women's track teams are expected to have a new home on the East Bank of campus as part of the master facilities plan.
The track teams will be temporarily displaced while the school builds the Athletes Village, a $190 million project comprising buildings for football, men's and women's basketball and an academic/training table center.
