The Bright-Slocum Center Renovations project will focus on four main goals for renovation of a majority of the first floor: Improving the overall circulation of the facility, renovating player-centric spaces, renovating player support spaces, and renovating public spaces. In support of these goals, the project will create two new corridors, one facilitating flow to and from Kyle Field, and the second will provide a closer path for the players to access the Davis Center on the south edge. The renovation of the player-centric spaces will upgrade their day-to-day experience of the facility. This includes a reconfiguration of the athletic training area, a new hydrotherapy room with a focus on post practice recovery, an updated locker room with larger lockers and new finishes, and a new player's lounge to provide a space for team bonding, mental recovery and around-the-clock nutrition. The player support spaces will include the reconfiguration of the equipment room and the relocation of the staff and student worker locker rooms. A preceding project will relocate the coaches' locker rooms to spaces on the second floor. The renovation of the public spaces includes such spaces as the lobby, giving all visitors a more powerful first impression of the facility, as well as providing opportunities for donor recognition and revenue-generating experiences within the public realm, including upgraded finishes of the lobby restrooms and the team meeting room.

The Planning Amount for the project is $52,000,000, which includes an Amount Available for Construction Contract (AACC) of $34,092,767. Fees, furnishings, other work, miscellaneous expenses, and contingencies make up the balance of the Planning Amount.
