Is that an 8-lane indoor track? That's pretty unusual, I think. Most indoor track facilities have 6-lane tracks with an 8-lane 60 meter sprinting facility in the infield, like the one in Arkansas that hosts the NCAA championships every other year or so:

The curved part is 6 lanes and looking at the photos the 8 lanes is for the 60 which is off to the side.
Okay, it took a while, but now I'm seeing what you are seeing as well. Yes, I think you're right.
Just when I thought i'd seen it all, construction workers with Jordan hardhats appear.
I saw the Michigan logo.... but didn't look that closely.
Sounds like WD needs a hardhat!
I shit you not.
(They're obviously stickers because the PM in the beginning has his on the top, but I'm trying to push a narrative here)
"The indoor track facility is coming together really fast." Heh. I see you WD.
The LEADERS and BEST!
WD, where did you find these?
Twitter, probably

Also possibly screen caps from the video feature on MGoBlue.com
Will the new weight room/facility be used by the football team as well?
No, Football is getting their own performance center. Oosterbaan.
You could do some sweet roller derby on that banked track...
from this complex all the way down to the golf course that really don't fit into this modern UM sports scenery.
I wonder how much more of the town the Athletic Department can gobble up and develop. It's beautiful but I hope the football financial bubble doesn't burst since I don't see these non revenue sports ever be able to support themselves.
