The Assembly Hall
"Our first priority is to create the best basketball environment by putting another 600 students down on the floor with the 800 we have already. That means the floor must be dropped at least 5 feet. We want 1,400 students alongside the court. And we want a fan-friendly building with improved restrooms and concessions, and with elevators and escalators.
"As for a launching time, I won't come with a plan until I'm comfortable with the finances. I would hope we can get started within two years and have it completed in three or four."
