quick question? I heard the BOT nominated a architect to build the new center? Did President Kelly sign off on the recommendation?

I believe we chose the same group that did the stadium

Correct. We awarded the work to HKS on November 1st.

Whether Kelly signed off on it yet, I don't know, but I imagine he will approve it.

Just checked fau website. They have moved on to trying select a construction manager for the new center.

If they are hiring a construction manager that means they have a shovel ready project.

I hate it when they say the center will break ground in 37 days. You can't give me a hard date so I can be there. lol

FAU has selected DPR Construction out of West Palm Beach to be the construction manager for the new center. Sun Sentinel has ground breaking date scheduled for January 20th. I plan on attending.
