Upward Star Center

The 120,000 SF sports complex is part of a 100-acre site master plan that provides soccer fields, baseball fields, six NCAA basketball courts, twelve volleyball courts, a weight room, baseball training room, locker room, and team meeting space. In addition, the facility houses a retail shop, café, players’ lounge, and office and classroom space for athletic and community use. Competition venues for basketball and volleyball will host local and regional tournaments. A public concourse connects the gyms with upper and lower level spectator areas, allowing for future gym space.

The Design-Build team used Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology and teleconferencing so all participants could better understand the project and were able to provide immediate input, resulting in a favorable price and construction schedule.

Another feature, the Sports Medicine Institute, provides therapy and clinical care space for examinations, procedures, and imaging services.
