The $15 million “boutique” dormitory N.C. State plans to build for its men’s and women’s basketball teams will be pushed back a year.
The school wants to give Kevin Keatts, the new men’s coach, and his staff the opportunity to provide input, according to Fred Demarest, N.C. State associate athletic director.
Construction on Case Commons Residence Hall, a 65-bed, four-floor facility, was supposed to start in the spring and be completed by 2018. It is now expected to be finished by the summer of 2019.
