For the past five years, Maryville has aggressively renovated, upgraded and created new dynamic learning and living spaces on campus. And, the University is well on its way with additional plans to grow and further enhance classrooms, gathering and studying spaces and sports facilities. These include the state-of-the-art Maryville University Athletic Complex, which officially opened in November.
The Athletic Complex houses a competition lacrosse field, a women’s softball stadium and tennis courts for the men and women’s squads. It also includes athletic offices, storage and locker rooms for those sports and a concession area for fans. Additionally, the Complex will greatly enhance intramural and club sports venues for students competing in those activities.
“The new Athletic Complex is yet another example of Maryville providing exemplary facilities for its student body,” said Lonnie Folks, ’82, ’98, director of athletics and recreation. “The Athletics Complex is drawing rave reviews from our men’s and women’s lacrosse players, our softball team and our tennis student-athletes. I’m pleased we’re able to give these programs a new home, and one that is top of the line. We look forward to playing at the new Complex and reaping the benefits it will provide for current and future student-athletes.”
