A 180x75 foot turf field will allow the soccer team to practice all year long and facilitate other sports like flag football and ultimate frisbee.
The field house will have ample room for equipment and storage to support many uses.
The gymnasium will be used for recreation, classes and varsity games. It can be configured as one or two regulation-sized basketball courts as well for other sports such as volleyball and badminton.
Locker rooms will be added later.
Two new workout areas will feature signifcantly more space on two floors. The first floor will house weight training equipment and the second floor will hold cardio machines.
