If something can be closed up for the games, they will reopen and continue completing until the next time ... to close up for the next game.
I was told the new "Club" on the east side will be open in 2019. So this construction will continue and will be worked on after the start of the basketball season.

Some years ago I was in Palo Alto the weekend after Thanksgiving....very late November. Stanford was playing ND in Stanford's 80,000 seat standium. All around the stadium was construction equipment. The next day, a Sunday, tear-down of the stadium began in prep for construction of a new ~ 60,000 seat stadium on the same site. In October of the next year, less than 12 months later, Stanford played its first game in the new stadium. Work went on seven days a week for ~ 10 months. That project makes our Arena redo look like a minor spruce-up.
