Multipurpose Sports Center / Baseball Practice Facility

With the current building used for Men’s Baseball training and practice at Arkansas Tech University slated for demolition, the University determined a new state of the art Baseball practice facility was in order.  And with limited financial resources available, it made sense to plan the new practice facility as a multiuse building that would also accommodate Softball, Tennis and Golf team practices.    

 

A detailed space program was developed followed by design concepts for a new facility.  The design team recommended integrating the new facility with the outfield wall behind left field, with coaches’ offices and a team meeting room  located on the upper level with an outdoor roof terrace overlooking the baseball stadium. 

 

The facility includes a 150' x 150' indoor turf practice area that encompasses a full baseball infield, with an adjacent area sized for a single tennis court.  Also included is a practice putting/chipping green, golf simulator, drop down batting cages, locker rooms, team rooms, equipment room/storage, team storage, training room and Baseball Clubhouse.
