Great info, Frank. I found this information interesting given what I know and what I posted as I tried to think out of the box.

First, I knew EMU athletics was working on a West Campus facility plan. I was told that. That is Gospel. I obviously knew and posted about EMU's plans to re-do Westview Apts.. I think I posted that it could free up space for some ancillary purpose. I thought maybe parking. I didn't think specifically of a new track there.

NOW, we need to think in terms of PROCESS, with flow charts, of what happens first, second, third, etc.

First, EMU will demo and rebuild Westview into essentially an apartment complex. Will that be completed in 2025?
Theoretically, EMU could, finances available, consider a new track at an appropriate point after the new apartment complex is built (exterior). Say 2024.

I assume EMU could re-do the football field (field turf), but not the track awaiting a decision on moving the track.

As far as a 2nd IPF. A little recollection. What Christian Spears wanted was a big IPF where the SAPC is now. That would have gotten athletics completely out of Bowen. However, that would have entailed TWO big projects, a SAPC (northwest corner of Rynearson) and IPF (where the SAPC is). Too costly. Lucky we got the $ for the SAPC.

The SAPC was originally supposed to go in the N.W. corner of Rynearson but there were soil issues and the SAPC had to be redesigned and built as we see it.

I have NO idea where another IPF would go, where the $ would come from, etc. Spears had thought that the current IPF would be kept and rented out.
