RUSSELLVILLE -- Arkansas Tech University hosted a groundbreaking ceremony for a new on-campus, multisports complex on March 16.
The new facility will provide an indoor practice space for the intercollegiate baseball, softball, tennis and golf programs. Locker room and office space for the baseball program, a training room and a conference room are also included in the project.
Additional intercollegiate athletics programs at Tech and students from the Department of Health and Physical Education are also expected to use the facility.
The ATU Board of Trustees voted in December 2016 to award a $3.5 million construction contract to Cline Construction Group of North Little Rock for the construction of the complex. AMR Architects of Little Rock designed the structure.
Funding for the project will be provided by private donations and existing university reserves. The facility is scheduled to open next spring.
