The university is in the process of getting started with the renovations to BH.

Burried in a facilites document there is a description of what we can expect to see:

Key objectives of proposed project:
Develop two new, level one “smart classrooms.
Develop Academic Success component on second level of addition.
Develop new lobby on north side of building to include improved “front” door and
display components for UNC Athletic History.
Remove portions of the existing CMU walls within the facility, in locations
identified on drawings. Install new CMU wall in existing portion of Butler
Hancock to allow reconfiguration of locker rooms and expansion of the current
Athletic Training room.
Install a second level in each of the two existing racquetball courts.
Resolve ADA accessibility issues.
Reconfigure existing general locker rooms, renovate and upgrade newly
assigned locker rooms to reflect current standards: carpet, wood lockers with
integral bench, full HVAC.
Provide new, larger staff locker rooms on second level.
A new electrical service and main distribution switchboard.
New lighting in remodeled and new areas.
To provide air conditioning for the proposed areas, a new chilled water system
will need to be installed.

In addition, the University is starting a fund raising campaign for the construction of a
Strength and Conditioning and Sports Medicine addition to Butler Hancock. The budget
for this portion of the project is approximately $7,400,000.
TOTAL PROJECT BUDGET: S11,591,235.
 
I know in the football program they had a page dedicated to this and had a blue print but it was so small you'd need an electron microscope to read it. I'd like to get ahold of a larger print of that.

Also, the weight room would be great, one less excuse for the football program then. :lol:

But seriously, it's contigent on raising private funds and isn't included in the money from the state so we'll see if it ever happens but it would be nice.

Scott, are there any others you can pass on?
 
Not sure how long it has been out there, but the website has lots of information about the BH changes, including renderings and construction photos:

Props to the athletic dept for making this stuff available.
