Designed to serve athletes and community members of all ages, this new indoor turf facility is a year-round destination for recreation, athletics, and community events. The 85,000-square-foot complex features a full-sized NFHS soccer field within a bright, long-span pre-engineered steel structure enclosed by a stretched fabric system, allowing flexible field configurations and high-quality play conditions.

In addition to turf sports such as soccer, lacrosse, baseball, football, and dryland hockey training, the facility includes a walking track, indoor playground, batting cages, and dedicated space for teen programs, supporting both competitive athletics and everyday community use.

Design Tree supported the project from early feasibility through design, with Civil and Structural teams playing a central role in shaping the site and building systems.

Civil services included site planning, circulation and access, utility capacity evaluation, stormwater management, and wetland considerations. The Civil scope also included design and layout of an expanded parking lot with connections to the existing city street and adjacent Rogers Activity Center parking lot. Civil and Structural teams collaborated on soil corrections following a building footprint change, requiring removal of unsuitable soils and replacement with engineered fill.

Structural services included foundation design for the pre-engineered, fabric-lined steel structure and a one-story precast concrete mezzanine. Through detailed analysis of site conditions and loading demands, Design Tree’s structural engineers optimized footing layouts, significantly reducing concrete quantities while maintaining performance and constructability. This collaborative, efficiency-driven approach helped control costs and deliver a durable, flexible facility built to serve the community year-round.

Mechanical design incorporated air rotation HVAC units to heat and circulate air throughout the large open turf space without interior ductwork. Continuous air movement redistributes heat from the ceiling to the occupied zone, improving comfort and energy efficiency while accommodating the fabric structure. Conventional HVAC and plumbing systems serve the interior office areas.
