YOUNGSTOWN — An indoor athletic-training facility proposed for the north side of the Youngstown State University campus could be open for student use by August 2010.
The finance and facilities committee of the YSU Board of Trustees has named MS Consultants Inc. of Youngstown as the architect for the $10 million project.
Construction on the WATTS (Watson and Tressel Training Site) Center was originally not expected to begin until July 2010 with completion in early 2011, but the job has been fast-tracked at the insistence of some members of the board of trustees who believe it will provide a direct benefit to students and could produce revenue for the university by being leased for use by schools and other colleges.
The latest schedule shows construction stating in March 2010 with completion in August 2010.
The center is named for former YSU head football coach Jim Tressel and his wife, Ellen, and her parents, Frank and Norma Watson, who pledged a total of $1 million to get the project started in mid-2007.
