Current Projects
Dairy Road Recreation Field
Description: The project will develop an all-purpose, mixed-use (e.g. soccer, football, lacrosse, rugby, volleyball, flag football) outdoor recreation facility to support recreation and leisure programs for the campus community. This facility will incorporate a synthetic play surface that will enable programming to take place during wet weather. The facility will also have field lighting, restrooms, drinking fountains, perimeter running/walking trail, extended hours, perimeter fence and landscaping. The project will benefit student activity and community events with the ability of the synthetic turf to accommodate high use and lack of downtime required by traditional natural turf fields. This field will complement department and campus initiatives to reduce staff hours for maintenance of outdoor facilities and support sustainable initiatives by reducing fertilization, fuel, exhaust, noise of mowers. New energy efficient lighting would reduce energy consumption and the "down lighting" design would align with dark-sky initiatives. Campus Recreation will operate, manage, and maintain the facility.
