Perpetual Wave: Capital Projects
 | |
 The renovation of Turchin Stadium is slated to start at the conclusion of the 2004 baseball season. | |
Three projects make up the capital component of Perpetual Wave. Tops on the list are a renovation of baseball's Turchin Stadium and a significant upgrade and addition to the Goldring Tennis Complex. In addition, a renovation of Fogelman Arena is needed to maximize revenue potential in that facility.
Turchin Stadium will undergo its first major renovation since its construction in 1990. The changes will increase seating capacity to 5,000 while adding many amenities, including a "courtyard" area outside the main entrance. With the popularity of Green Wave Baseball reaching new heights, the stadium renovation has the potential to produce significant increases in revenue for Tulane Athletics. Other areas of the project will be usable throughout the year for other purposes, including as meeting and office space.
 The addition of more stands and multi-purpose space to the Goldring Tennix Complex was initiated by an anonymous lead gift to Tulane Athletics. | |
The addition to the Goldring Tennis Complex also is expected to benefit many areas of the athletics department year-round. Initiated by an anonymous lead gift to the department during the "Think Green" campaign, the planned addition includes stands, locker rooms and a large meeting and viewing space between the tennis complex and the Westfeldt Facility, which would be used by the department and additional groups during the year.
Fogelman Arena, Tulane's home for basketball and volleyball, turned 70 years old in 2003, and while the 3,600-seat gym still provides a great home-court advantage to the Green Wave, its long-term future is being reviewed. Because of the importance of this aging facility to our athletics programs, Tulane must consider either making major improvements to Fogelman or constructing a new facility.
The goal of Perpetual Wave in the area of capital improvements is to continue the fundraising process so that all three endeavors can be completed.
