Over the next three months, LSU Football players looking to stay in shape and workout on campus will do so at a make-shift area inside the indoor practice facility.

This temporary weight room has been set up so that workers can begin a $2.5 million renovation to the existing weight room.

The renovation which is expected to be done the first week of August will help LSU keep up with the on-going facilities arms race in College Football. Per The Advocate:

The weight room isn’t just growing. Everything inside the renovated facility will be new — weights, dumbbell sets, weight racks, lifting machines, cardio machines and a few first-time items.

Crews are installing two 10-foot, LED screens that Moffitt can sync to an iPad for recruiting and instructing purposes. The new weight room will include a medical-ball wall, second bathroom, larger storage unit, another office and up to 30 televisions.

More power racks, cardio machines and five-zone directional speaker system for sound will also be added, according to the report.

Here is a rendering of what the new gym might look like when its done:
