Syracuse University’s Barnes Center at the Arch is scheduled to reopen by the time students return for the fall 2019 semester, a university official announced Friday.
What was Archbold Gymnasium will reopen in the fall as a $50 million complex featuring a multi-floor fitness center with a rock climbing wall and a multi-activity sports court. The Counseling Center and Health Services will be relocated to The Arch.
Pete Sala, vice president and chief facilities officer, said in his Friday email that the steel installation for the Arch is complete. Construction in Building A is “significantly complete,” with finish and millwork installations ongoing, he said. Mechanical, plumbing and electrical work in Building B is under way, and the pool installation in Building C is 50% complete.
