City planning officials approved further construction to Camp Randall Stadium and remodeling of the neighboring McClain Center student athletic facility Monday.
The $76.8 million project involves three phases designed to enhance the Camp Randall area, according to UW-Madison Facilities Planning and Management Director Gary Brown.
Phase one, which is already under construction, involves interior remodeling of the stadium, replacement of the stadium’s turf and construction of a connecting tunnel from inside the stadium to the McClain Center.
Phase two and three call for renovations to the McClain Center such as replacing the roof and building new strength and condition facilities as well as a new locker room.
The project also includes plans to renovate Badger Way, the bike path from Breese Terrace through Randall Avenue, which cuts through the stadium.
Ald. Shiva Bidar-Sielaff, District 5, said the new path will improve pedestrian and bike access in the neighborhood.
