... The construction of the IPF will, obviously, require the removal of the Athletic Training Center (Bubble). This will have a pretty sizable impact on the athletic department as the Bubble is where most sports on campus go for their sports medicine and weight room needs.

... Hocutt said the Jones Stadium seat project is on schedule.
... They're building out office space inside the East Side Building right now -- construction began last week -- that will eventually allow the ticket office to relocate from the North Endzone Building. This project is expected to be done by August.
... Once the ticket office is relocated, that will allow construction to begin on converting the North Endzone Building into premium seating. There will be approximately 250 seats added as part of this project and Texas Tech is hopeful that the seats -- not the club area -- will be available in time for the 2015 football season.
... Between the seating project, the East Side Building project and the North Endzone Building, there's roughly $15 million of fully-funded construction planned for Jones Stadium this offseason.
... Hocutt said the Jones Stadium turf will need to be replaced "in the next five years."
... The United Spirit Arena is also being upgraded over the offseason. The university is renovating the locker rooms for all three sports -- men's basketball, women's basketball, volleyball -- and the sports medicine center right now, and construction will begin on the coaches offices in four to eight weeks.
