Iowa State’s long-awaited CyTown project officially breaks ground, marking a historic milestone for the university as it kicks off a $200 million multi-use entertainment and community district. Athletics Director Jamie Pollard, set to retire, hailed the moment as pivotal, having weathered years of uncertainty and delays — originally slated for completion in 2027, the full build-out now targets August 2028. CEO Zach Wiegert confirms construction will ramp up soon, with buildings rising by February 2027. While Pollard won’t see the finished product, he’s proud to have launched it. Meanwhile, the search for his successor begins under President David Cook, seeking a leader with Pollard’s vision.
