RCW: Locker Room Update
Fans passing by the entrance and exit to the Kansas men’s basketball locker room have noticed construction that began in the summer of 2017 and just completed in the last week of January 2018. While the entrance and exit from the locker room has been moved and new graphics added, behind that door is a new fresh, bright and airy look to the facility that was first completed in 2009. Here is a look inside.
A new graphic design showing the 13-straight Big 12 Conference regular-season title rings curves around the atrium wall at the entrance to the locker room inside Allen Fieldhouse. A graphic for the 14th-straight ring is ready at lower right with space for many more.
