STILLWATER, Okla. (KOKH) — Oklahoma State unveiled a wide-ranging vision plan for its athletic facilities on Monday.
The university said the plan emphasizes success for student-athletes, improving the fan experience, and bettering the ability to attract student-athletes across all programs through the creation of a unified and connected athletic village.
The plan includes a new football operations center, a new wrestling training facility, a new softball stadium, an indoor track, a new training center for basketball, upgrades to the Pedigo-Hull Equestrian Center and to Karsten Creek Golf Course and repurposed areas in the west end zone of Boone Pickens Stadium and Gallagher-Iba Arena for student-athlete services that include a new academics center and spaces for mental health, leadership and career development.
The plan carries a cost of $325 million. The university said the implementation and order of construction will be determined as funding becomes available for each element.
"This is a time of conference realignment and unprecedented transformation in college athletics," Athletic Director Chad Weiberg said. "With a history that includes 52 NCAA titles, for us to continue to achieve championship results, now is not the time to pause or rest on past accomplishments, but to honor those accomplishments by pushing forward and building upon what has been started. This vision plan provides a road map for the next phase of an athletics village that will be unrivaled in collegiate sports."
