The UConn Board of Trustees unanimously approved $688,480 at its Dec. 7 meeting to replace the court. The project is slated to be completed in time for the start of the 2023 fall semester, officials said. The Gampel Pavilion, also home to UConn volleyball as well as career fairs, open houses, and commencement ceremonies, opened in 1990. UConn officials said due to its age and current thickness, the wood court can no longer be sanded as part of scheduled maintenance and is beyond its useful life. The project, though, will include the removal of the existing wood flooring, inspection and repair of the subfloor (the middle layer of a flooring system); installation of a new maple floor system; and sanding, finishing, and painting. The project, officials said, will begin after the spring semester ends and occur over the summer of 2023.
