About The New Facility






The new facility features three natural turf football fields, one artificial turf field, outdoor sand and incline training structures, a field house with another artificial turf field, a two-story office building and other amenities. There is an auditorium and classroom seminar rooms, a coach’s atrium, two cafeterias, an owner’s suite, a corporate hospitality wing and rooms dedicated to health and fitness as well as medical training. The entire facility and grounds occupy a total of 217,561 square feet.

Among the design elements that make this facility unique are:

All key entries to the building focus on a primary view of the football field.

All primary interaction spaces including the coach’s atrium, learning atrium, training atrium, cafeteria and owner’s suite overlook the goal line, the 50-yard line or other views of the field.

The integer of the yard line is integrated throughout the building – in lighting, flooring and ceilings – another constant reminder that football is the task at hand.

Photographic murals of fans line the corridors.

Anti-microbial materials were used throughout to minimize infections and maintain a healthy team and staff.

Learning spaces extend out into "circulation spaces" creating an environment that encourages learning beyond the classrooms and fields.

High quality lighting, ventilation, acoustics and technology were used throughout the facility to maximize the efficiency of training and the levels of comfort.

Highly sophisticated audio visual systems throughout the building facilitate research, understanding and learning.

A field house with a 95-foot-high ceiling clearance.

A training area that includes a 12,000-square-foot weight room, locker room with careful ventilation and highly sophisticated therapy pools and equipment.
