The third phase of KSU’s Recreational Sports Complex opened in April, adding nine new fields, a NCAA regulation track and a nine-acre lake.
Of the new fields, five are synthetic turf, one an intramural field, and four are sand-volleyball courts. Also part of the new complex is a 9,000 square foot amenities building.
The first phase of this development opened in October 2009, and introduced two synthetic turf fields and the 16,000 square foot Owls Nest training facility. The second phase is responsible for KSU’s 8,300seat stadium, which hosted the NCAA Division I Women’s College Cup in December of 2011.
Phase three celebrated the April 30, 2012 opening with a ribbon cutting ceremony, attended by KSU President Daniel S. Papp. A KSU press release quoted Papp at the ceremony.
“The KSU Sports and Recreation Park is an important addition to the university’s infrastructure, providing students with much needed facilities,” Papp said. “With the completion of phase three of the project and additional student housing set to open in August, Kennesaw State is well on its way to competing at the national level.”
The complex, now open to all students, was designed by the architectural firm Lose and Associates and the build was completed by the Choate Construction Company.
