The total student population is currently about 4,100. If there is an expansion of the ARC in the future, I wouldn't be surprised to see something similar to the recent renovation of Loyola's Gentile Arena:

[Mark Lazerus of the Post-Tribune is marveled by the construction and believes Loyola has made the perfect decision on the cozy size of Gentile.  He also sees the gym as a microcosm for other Horizon League arenas.  "Well, Loyola has created a mid-major paradise," Lazerus writes. "The Gentile high school gym has been converted into arguably the nicest facility in the league." Anyone that has been to the Gentile pre-renovation knows exactly what Mark is talking about by referring it to a 'high school gym.' Valpo plays home to a high school style gym and would cherish in the chance to convert the Arc into a Gentile like arena.]
