49ers HQs In Santa Clara Undergoing Major Renovation Project

The 49ers HQs in Santa Clara is "in the midst of its first major renovation since opening" in '88, as a two-phase project "adding 9,000 square feet of space for players and office employees is under way," according to John Crumpacker of the S.F. CHRONICLE. The "entire renovation is expected to be completed by November." As part of the project, the weight room has already been "expanded to include more" equipment, while additional office space, an in-house kitchen and an "expanded players' lounge are still to be completed." 49ers VP/Football Affairs Keena Turner said, "The facility was built in 1988. It was just time to enhance some things. The facility has become a year-round facility." Crumpacker notes players "taking part in minicamp Friday through Sunday will be inconvenienced by construction to the locker room but the finished product in July will give them more space" (S.F. CHRONICLE, 4/29).
