Kansas State University (KSU) in Manhattan, Kansas, US, has started work on a US$75m (EUR57m, £46.4m) project to refurbish and expand its Bill Snyder Family Stadium.

AECOM is leading the 250,000sq ft (23,226sq m) West Stadium Center development, with the expansion part of a wider masterplan for improvements to the institution's stadium.

All facilities on the western side of the venue are to be replaced, with new media/broadcast facilities; a new suite, club and loge seating; and new concourses to be built.

A K-State Athletics Hall of Honor and a new dining hall for student-athletes will also form part of the scheme, together with a Tailgate Terrace to enhance the matchday experience.

Architects Heery International are responsible for the project's design, while AECOM will provide architecture, interior design, structural engineering and cost estimating services.

Work is due for completion in 2013.
