LSU officials began a 16-month long renovation project for the Huey P. Long Field House this year, aimed to be completed in 2022.
Assistant Vice President for Planning, Design and Construction Roger Husser said the building’s age and lack of consistent renovations throughout its history make these renovations all the more necessary.
“The original building was built in the 1920s and the building has never undergone a full and complete renovation,” Husser said. "This project is to completely renovate the building from inside and out, top to bottom, a full scale renovation of the historic building.”
Husser said it is a $25 million project funded by the state legislature and private funds.
“We’re seeking additional private funds that would allow us to enhance part of the project that we otherwise would not be able to do,” Husser said.
Paul Favaloro, LSU Director of Capital Project Management and Development, said there have been obvious problems with the current state of the building that put the idea of renovation at the forefront of many University officials’ minds for years.
“It was lacking in its facility systems’ components, abandoned in certain areas of the pool, an area of lockers and racquetball courts on the back end, so portions of the building were not being used,” Favaloro said. “It’s well overdue for a renovation and restoration.”

One change that will come with the renovations is the removal of the pool to make more space for student activities, Favaloro said.
“Pools are very expensive to maintain, and there’s additional options to using this space other than a pool,” Falvaloro said. "What we hope to do is renovate it into a common area, a gathering space, as well as outdoor classroom use.”

That was a sweet pool. Too bad they're demolishing it.

I’m sure students would rather the money be spent on the classrooms. Most of the quad buildings were a dumpster fire when I was there.

How dare they spend that much money while Robert Mann has to clean his own office.

Looks like they’re taking the pool out because pools are racist.

Construction started about a month ago.

Are they going to use the dirt from the Indian Mounds to fill in the pool?

This renovation is huge. It's going to look really nice. HPL fieldhouse is much bigger than people think
