Clemson unveils plans for women’s sports facility
The Clemson Board of Trustees is set to review plans to build a women’s sports specific facility.
The plans, unveiled Friday, call for a $27.5 million expansion plan for new and upgraded lakefront facilities for lacrosse, gymnastics and rowing. This comes after this spring, when the school announced plans for women’s lacrosse and women’s gymnastics.
If the plan is approved by the Board of Trustees early next week, construction would begin later this year with completion for 2023.
The new facility would include a new lacrosse stadium and a 9,000 square foot operations complex, including coaches offices, locker rooms and a players lounge.
A crucial addition to the athletic department’s nutrition efforts would be included in a new 10,000 square foot training and recovery facility. Space would be designated for sports science, nutrition, sports medicine and strength and conditioning.
