CMU Events Center
On July 16, 2009, the Board of Trustees gave approval to move ahead with the construction phase of Rose Arena to create the multipurpose Events Center. The action included $18.5 million in funding for construction. $2.5 million had been allocated earlier for architectural design.
The privately funded Events Center will include:
- Completely redesigned angular exterior and bright glazed-glass entrance
- 10,000 square-foot lobby and reception area
- Redesigned arena with upgraded comfortable seating for 5,300
- A new 12,000 square-foot practice facility
- Student fitness center
