K-State has sold 5.17 acres of land, including the Unger Complex building, to the KSU Foundation. At a special meeting on July 30, the Kansas Board of Regents approved this purchase.

The 5.17 acres and building cost $2,669,221.

The KSU Foundation intends to sell the property to a developer, to convert the building into apartments. In April, the Manhattan Urban Area Planning Board rezoned the Unger Complex from a business commercial property to a residential one. The City of Manhattan approved this rezoning in May.

K-State recently demolished the Ahearn Natatorium and attached gymnasium but kept the 1950 field house building, which for many years was the site of basketball, volleyball and indoor track events. Until now, officials haven’t released plans for the building.

“I think Ahearn has a lot of memories for a lot of alumni, and I think there are a lot of interesting things we can do with that,” said Neal Kessler, senior principal of the planning firm Smithgroup. “One of the things I think we have settled on on is this idea that Ahearn Field House can still operate similarly to what it does today and even have some other events in it.”
