UM Board of Curators set to meet to discuss Memorial Stadium renovations
COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)
The UM Board of Curators are scheduled to meet on Friday, Dec. 15 at 8 a.m. to continue discussions of the planned Memorial Stadium renovations. At Friday's meeting, Mizzou Athletics will seek approval to hire an architect/engineering firm to consult on the project.
DLR Group, a Missouri-based firm, is being recommended for the project. The selection committee also interviewed two other firms, including Populous and Perkins + Will (KC).
The chosen firm will conduct a Pre-Design Programming Study, and the fee for those services are not supposed to exceed $400,000.
The goal of the renovations is to increase revenue and further the brand and reputation of MU and MU Athletics.
