Updated Athletic Facilities—$15 million
Synthetic Multipurpose
Turf Field with Lights
To remain competitive and be able to host NCAA and
NEWMAC competitions in several varsity sports, we need
an artificial turf field that can be used for a longer
season and in more inclement weather than a natural
grass field. The addition of lights will make it possible
to practice and play during the late afternoon and
evening hours. [top]
New Outdoor Track
The track and field program has produced four All-Americans
and has sent hundreds of athletes to postseason competition.
However, the team’s last home track and field meet
was in 1996. We cannot host track and field events
on the existing six-lane track, which was built in
1984 and has not been resurfaced since 1989. [top]
Boathouse
Crew has grown to one of the College’s largest varsity
teams (80 students are on the roster in a typical fall;
50 compete in the spring). We need a boathouse to provide
space for all these athletes, to increase indoor boat
storage space for the entire fleet, and to help recruit
top students to the program. Many secondary schools
and most competitive college programs have modernized
facilities. [top]

Complex Renovations
Up-to-date athletic facilities are an increasingly
important and play a significant competitive role in
recruiting applicants. To that end, we must update
our fitness complex. [top]
