Along with a center scoreboard, concessions and a new concourse level, sustainability ranked high on the list of priorities for USF's $35 million renovation of the Sundome Arena & Convocation Center.
"From the outset, the renovation was planned with sustainability in mind," says Stephen Lafferty, with USF Facilities Planning & Construction. "Like all new construction projects at the university, this renovation supports President Genshaft's commitment to create a sustainable campus environment."
