Holy Cross will kick off work to improve the Hart Center after fundraising two-thirds of the estimated construction cost, the school said Wednesday.
Holy Cross said it has signed a contract with a construction management firm to begin work on the hilltop athletic complex as early as next month.
The project includes both the renovation and expansion of the Hart Center, and construction of a new field house. It is one of the six main initiatives of the college’s ongoing $400 million fundraising campaign “Become More: Campaign for the Future of Holy Cross.”
Initial work will include some blasting and drilling at the Worcester campus. Construction at Hart is expected to be completed in mid-2018, with work on the field house slated to begin afterword, the college said.
