Athletics and Grounds - Phase 3
A new stadium was built featuring a turf field, and an 8 lane track. The turf field will allow for easier scheduling and maintenance, as well as the opportunity to host band competitions. The new track will allow Fennville to host track meets for the first time in almost a decade! The bleachers are now ADA compliant and the restroom facilities are up to code regarding the number of toilets per seat. The baseball field was reconstructed, as was the softball field.
Original plans called for a new stadium and fields to be built on the field north of campus. However, rising costs and regulations required the board to weigh making cuts from elsewhere in the project or scale back on the athletics/grounds project. One major impact was the designation of most of the north field as being "wetlands", which would have cost significant amounts of money to preserve land elsewhere, as required by Michigan law.
