John P. Reardon '60, director of athletics, said yesterday the Athletic Department's decision to renovate Watson Rink came earlier this year as projected costs for a proposed new hockey rink rose from $5 million to $7 million.
The Athletic Department has faced severe problems over the past year in financing new facilities originally proposed for the second phase of the Soldier's Field Athletic Complex.
The Athletic Department last fall halted the $30 million fund-raising drive financing the complex because of fund-raising problems and possible competition with other Harvard fund-raising drives, Reardon said.
The drive raised approximately $13 million, financing the first phase of the athletic complex last spring, which includes Blodgett Pool and the Indoor Track and Tennis (ITT) facility.
Reardon said the Athletic Department dropped plans for the Dillon addition in the Fall, and rejected plans for the new hockey rink in January.
