<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#0E101A">We are thrilled to officially open the doors of the Fudge Football Development Center this weekend and the upcoming move of football
</span><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">to a brand new Baylor Athletics facility<span style="color:#0E101A">. While this move presents exciting opportunities as we expand our athletic footprint, we understand questions may arise
regarding the planned use of the vacated spaces in Simpson. Over the past several months, we have strategically reviewed the Simpson floor plan, focusing on utilizing the additional space to enhance student-athlete services and foster collaboration among business
units. Bringing departmental units that are currently housed in different locations back under one roof is a promising prospect, adding synergy and fostering a collaborative environment.
