2 sections of indoor spectator seating with a total capacity of 600 seats
New separate varsity locker rooms and visitor/club member locker rooms located on separate levels
New concession and restroom facilities
New environmental branding, graphics, and signage throughout facility
New elevator and staircase vertical circulation connecting the court level and the lower level of the facility
Catwalk extension to connect both ends of the indoor facility
