Tuesday's Barton Community College Board of Trustees meeting concluded with a tour of the athletic complex.

Last December, Barton trustees approved a contract with Mammoth Sports Construction to make renovations to the Physical Education Building, which includes the main basketball gym. The renovation will be paid for with private donor dollars and will not exceed $3 million.

Athletics Director Trevor Rolf said Tuesday the work being done this summer is only part of the planned renovation. The gym ceiling has been repainted, brighter and more energy-efficient lighting is being installed in the gym and concession hallway, the concession breezeway wall is being painted and new wiring is being installed.

Work is also going on at the track.

In April 2025, the trustees approved renovating the track and soccer field constructed in 2010. In addition to replacing the track surface, the project includes replacing a failing drainage system that Rolfs said is behind most of the issues. Tarkett Sports Construction won the bid for $3.1 million.
