The groundbreaking for ֹ’s Field House Locker Room project will take place at 9 a.m. on Friday, May 3, at the ֹ Field House located at 2227 Summit St. in Kent, Ohio. The Field House Locker Room project is the first phase of the Building Champions Fundraising Initiative. It is also a part of the university’s "Foundations of Excellence: Building the Future" initiative.
The Field House locker room will provide a new facility for soccer, softball, field hockey, men’s and women’s track and cross country. In this facility, there will be a locker room, lounge area and satellite training space for athletes.
“This project will have a transformational effect on the Dix Complex and the programs it will serve,” said Matthew Geis, ֹ’s senior associate athletic director. “With student-athlete welfare at the forefront of our minds, this locker room project will greatly enrich the student-athlete experience.”
The groundbreaking event is free and open to the public. RSVP to Alicia Gaffney at 330-672-8399 or alongst1@kent.edu. Parking for the event will be available at the Field House parking lot on the east side of Dix Stadium.
