Demolition, site work and addition to an educational facility in Emporia, Kansas. Conceptual plans call for the addition of a educational facility; for the demolition of a educational facility; and for site work for a educational facility.

A number of ESU alumni have expressed an interest in improving the athletics facilities for the university with emphasis on the football program. Other MIAA athletic facilities around the conference have been upgraded to the point that recruiting student-athletes to ESU programs are being impacted. Improvements planned include new expanded multisport weight room with 16 stations, large auditoriumstyle team meeting room that will seat 140, team and coaches' meeting rooms, study hall/lounge, recruitment/alumni/booster space with a capacity of 200, expanded football locker room for 120 players with associated lounge and food area, expanded training area, new offices for coaches, staff and students, expanded coaches' locker room, relocated football equipment room, and a game day tunnel/experience. The previous weight room will allow for additional academic space for the growing Athletic Training academic program. The relocation of the coaching staff into the new addition will free up space for Health, Physical Education and Recreation faculty and graduate assistants, some of who are now officed in former storage and maintenance rooms. The project costs below are based on preliminary plans and will be modified as the project scope and fundraising are refined.
