The renovation of Rhoads Softball Stadium is expected to be completed by the end of January, including all construction and furniture installation. The work began in Fall 2019 to provide updates to the clubhouse for players, the press box, and the ticketing booth. There will also be a new umpire lounge and concession stand, along with interior and exterior graphics. The renovation was driven by Alabama Softball hosting the 2020 SEC Tournament in Tuscaloosa.

Gorgas Library has undergone various renovations that have been in progress since late 2018. One of the major portions of this project has been the Core Support aspect that has been to make the library’s restrooms and elevators updated to meet ADA compliance. Roughly half of the floors have restroom renovations completed, with the rest expected to wrap up in the Summer. The freight elevator is also being expanded in order for it to meet compliance. The floors will be renumbered in sequence to replace the current numbering system that compensates for two-half floors.
