Where will the tennis courts be?

One thing I find hard to understand is that the tennis courts on top of the Stott Center were recently redone and upgraded and to a mighty charming degree, I might add.

But when the Viking Pavilion comes, won't these be demolished along with the rest of the portion of the building it rests atop? Will there be a new set of tennis courts built for the campus? Will these be somehow preserved and placed anew? Was this just a temporary measure easily duplicated?

These are practice facilities, not match facilities. But they are also campus courts. Will there be campus courts when the Viking Pavilion comes to be? This was an investment to instill pride. Will it be retained?
 
Maybe scrap the outdoor courts that are on the south side of Shattuck and build some sort of a covered structure?

There's four outdoor courts, but perhaps if you could configure them differently and get five in there. There's five on the top of the Stott, right?
 
I believe a building is slated for the tennis court site next to Shattuck Hall. We need a covered tennis court facility akin to what the UO has in Eugene, but with our improved court colors.

What about building above what will be the future practice court (existing stott main gym)?

I'm no civil engineer, but it seems like that could be an option, given that there wouldn't be a tremendous amount of weight. Again, I'm not a civil engineer.
