ATHLETIC FACILITIES – UPGRADES & RENOVATION

Construction Schedule: Completed Fall 2005

Funding Source(s): Redevelopment Funds

Description: The outdoor athletic facilities at College of San Mateo have not had significant renovations since the opening of the campus in the 1960’s. As a result, the playing surfaces are worn, affecting playability, increasing maintenance effort and limiting instructional and community use. Athletic programs and community use of athletic facilities provide visibility and integrate the College into the life of the surrounding community.

Beginning in the Spring of 2004, these facilities will be improved by implementing the following projects:

· upgrade of the existing football field to synthetic turf, complete

· renovation of the existing track, complete

· upgrade of the existing baseball field to synthetic turf, complete

· new restrooms, storage and batting cage structures, complete

· infrastructure for sport field lighting, complete

· renovation of stadium bleachers, in process

· installation of a new press box, in process

· renovation of the field throwing area, in process

· accessibility upgrades to all fields from parking areas, in process
