UTA to break ground on $78 million event center today
12:05 PM CST on Friday, March 5, 2010
The University of Texas at Arlington will break ground this afternoon on its new $78 million multipurpose center.
The Special Events Center, to be built on the east side of campus, will feature a court for UTA's basketball and volleyball teams and will host commencement and community events, according to a UTA news release.
The project was approved by UT system's board of regents in November, and the 218,000-square-foot center is expected to open in 2012.
Arlington Mayor Robert Cluck will be on hand along with students and faculty members for today's events, which include a reception immediately before the 2:30 groundbreaking. UTA President James D. Spaniolo will lead the ceremony.
Those driving near the site between 12:30 and 5 p.m. will have to take a detour because Pecan Street at UTA Boulevard and Third Street will be closed. The detour will follow Center Street.
Two parking lots, Nos. 42 and 43, will be closed until 5 as well.
