Construction began this summer on two new artificial fields, a brand new track & field facility, and a few grass practice fields as part of phase one of the athletics master plan. After Phase One is completed sometime in the fall there will be two artificial turf fields directly behind Billera Hall. One will primarily be used for practice and intramurals, while the one closest to Billera Hall will have seating around the field and be fully lit enabling the teams to play night games as well as extend practice hours after class time.
The track & field area, including areas for all the throwing events, will now be located across Station Avenue. In addition there will be two grass practice fields located on this side of the street for use by all students.
