"That's 1-A," Thomas said. "The 1-B is all the things we talk about with the remodeled Assembly Hall. You talk about a fan-friendly, customer-friendly facility."

A project estimated in the range of $160 million would update the 50-year-old Assembly Hall. Engineers have made three visits to campus, and AECom Inc. is already producing schematic drawings that will likely be delivered later this summer.
