FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) - The University of Arkansas says it's accepting proposals for a new basketball practice facility, indoor training space for baseball and track and a student-athlete center.

The school says it's issued requests for qualifications for both the design and contracting work for the projects.

The basketball practice facility is expected to cost up to $25 million and will serve both the men's and women's teams.

The Student-Athlete Success Center is estimated to cost $18 million to $23 million and will include a dining hall and study space for athletes. The indoor baseball and track training facility will be built on the north side of the Randal Tyson Track Center and is estimated to cost up to $9.6 million.
