The project will transform the experience of athletes, staff, and fans, with new lighting, seating, fields, and other facilities.

Improvements include:

• New field lights, accessible grandstands, and a press box added to the existing grass women’s soccer field.
• New turf baseball and softball fields with lights, dugouts, bullpens, batter’s cages, press boxes, and accessible grandstands.
• A natural grass rugby field with lights, accessible grandstands, and a press box.
• A new natural grass practice soccer field.
• A new multipurpose turf field with lights that has lines for soccer and rugby, plus removable rugby goal posts. This will be used for a wide range of intramural and club sport offerings.
• An underground filtration system to treat stormwater from the athletics complex.

The project also includes new paved walkways to each grandstand for improved accessibility, with site lighting and landscaping.  

“The renovated fields will provide contemporary competition and practice facilities for hundreds of ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø±¬ÍøÕ¾ varsity, club, and intramural sport participants while providing additional flexibility for our students as they pursue their academic and athletic interests,” said Ashmead White Director of Athletics .

Ryan also expressed his gratitude for the support provided by former president Clayton Rose, under whose tenure the project was launched, and Senior Vice President for Finance and Administration Matthew Orlando. He went on to pay tribute to the “tireless efforts” of ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø±¬ÍøÕ¾ staff members John Simoneau, director of capital projects, and Catherine Ferdinand, who specializes in land use and government relations, in bringing the vision to reality. The renovated facilities, added Ryan, will revolutionize the ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø±¬ÍøÕ¾ student experience.
