Athens-Clarke commissioners on Tuesday approved a project concept for the Classic Center Arena, moving it a step closer to its final form.
County Manager Blaine Williams said during the meeting that a preliminary design for the facility could be available as early as August.
The new arena will be near the Classic Center and there are plans to connect the two. During a May 11 work session, the new facility was described as approximately 170,000 square feet
The project concept shows the arena would have 5,500 permanent seats and an additional 1,500 movable floor seats, with a total seating capacity of 7,000.
The concept includes a list of “must-haves” for the arena, including retractable seating, solar panels, an ice rink, exhibit space and a parking deck with a minimum of 300 spaces.
