Trinity College will be starting construction in late 2023 on a $30.1 million, 37,000-square-foot addition to its George M. Ferris Athletic Center.
The addition is going on a space that is currently a lawn, and school officials said the project is expected to be finished by March 2025.
The center was originally built in 1968. The number of the college’s athletic teams and coaching staff has increased in the decades since, prompting the need for more space, according to Trinity.
The addition will feature seven new squash courts, an open-air second-floor terrace with views of playing fields and more space to accommodate fans.
It will also include a new fitness center, which will have space for cardio workouts, a free-weight room, fitness studios, a multipurpose recreation gym and student gathering spaces.
The addition will also have new modern work spaces for coaches, five new multipurpose rooms for team meetings and film viewing, and additional classroom space.
The college anticipates minimal disruption during construction, as practices and matches will continue in the existing center facilities.
Drew Galbraith, director of athletics and chair of physical education at Trinity, said the new wellness and recreation center will impact almost every member of the college’s community.
“We are thrilled to move forward with construction while we work with alumni and friends of Trinity to complete the fundraising for this transformational new space,” Galbraith said, in an announcement.
The current squash center at Ferris will be renovated also.
