The Finance and Budget Committee approved measures to renovate the Planet Fitness Kueber Center as well as the Jim Patterson Baseball Stadium.

Approved for costs not to exceed $7 million in renovations to the Planet Fitness Kueber Center include construction and renovation of locker rooms and training rooms as well as meeting spaces for the women’s and men’s basketball teams and women’s lacrosse team. Athletics currently has $5 million committed to the project and is seeking the additional $2 million from donors.

Approved for costs not to exceed $3 million in renovations to the Jim Patterson Baseball Stadium include renovations to the locker room, training room, workout areas, dugouts and facility aesthetics. The cost of the project is included in the state’s six-year capital budget.

Following approval from the Sept. 6, 2023, Faculty Senate meeting, three graduate certificate programs were approved by the Academic and Student Affairs Committee.

The graduate certificates in Healthcare Financial Management, Healthcare Management, Healthcare Quality and Project Management and Population Health Management are all composed of existing core classes in the program (part of the School of Public Health and Information Sciences Department of Health Management and Systems Sciences). They will serve students who are already working in the health sector but want to enhance their skills to assume leadership and management roles within health care organizations. The certificate programs will be effective spring 2024.

The final numbers represent a cut of 7.9-percent from the previous year, and members confirmed there will not be a tuition increase — a pledge made by the members at an August 2016 meeting.
Administrators said the new budget takes a big step toward correcting previous imbalances and establishing a solid financial foundation while also keeping college tuition affordable.

UofL interim President Greg Postel said it was important for the budget to represent “real data” and be balanced.

“This is going to be a lot of work,” Postel said. “This is a change in culture. But it’s prudent management, and we’re going to do it.”

Board members also took follow-up action related to last week’sĚý of the UofL Foundation, which was requested by the university. The members authorized Chairman J. David Grissom to approve payment of an additional $200,000 to the auditing firm Alvarez and Marsal for their continued work.

In other business, the board approved $2 million in expenditures for athletics-related facility improvements. The renovations and improvements will be largely funded from private money, including existing donations and campaigns, plus revenue from an upcoming concert at Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium. The projects are:
  • The addition of balconies at Cardinal Arena;
  • Two field turf replacements;
  • A video wall and other technology improvements at three athletics facilities.
A renovation of Jim Patterson Baseball Stadium also was considered by the board. The board gave its go-ahead for a proposed $9.5 million overhaul of the stadium. Its approval means the renovation can be added to a list of future projects and is still subject to final state and university approvals and funding.

The next regularly scheduled meeting of the UofL Board of Trustees is July 20.
