(Radio Iowa) – The Iowa Board of Regents has approved construction of a new women’s soccer complex at the University of Iowa. Senior Vice President of Finance Rob Lehnertz say the three-point-nine million dollar project will include a new two-story, 84 hundred square foot facility.

Lehnertz says the project is expected to take just over a year to complete.

The UI soccer team currently utilizes space for locker rooms and offices at a remote location from the soccer field, the Hawkeye Tennis and Recreation Complex.
