Workers have started putting the finishing touches to the roof over the new Jack Doland field house at the McNeese State athletic facility.

            Project architect Gayle Zembower said that in two to three weeks the roof work should be complete.  Latest to go up is the galvanized steel support system.  Zembower said that the top side roof will be all metal in the McNeese blue.

            Zembower also said that workers will soon begin closing the building in and once that is done the effort on the inside of the field house will start.

            The two story eight million dollar facility is expected to be completed by June of next year.

            The facility will house new locker rooms, a new weight room, meeting rooms and offices as well as a seated covered area for football games.  Also in the mix will be a McNeese Hall of Fame room and ticket office. The building will have 32,000 square feet of space.
