Outdoor Athletics
Outdoor athletics projects are currently in Phase 3.
Phase 1 ✔
During the fall of 2023, the following Phase 1 outdoor athletics construction projects were completed:
- New Zudiema Soccer Field (map and directions).
- New track and adjacent spaces for various field throwing events at Gainey Athletic Fields.
- Cross country course redesign and a new practice soccer and lacrosse field.
Phase 2 ✔
Construction was completed on our soccer stadium, which included locker rooms for men’s and women’s soccer, along with a building to house Calvin’s new football program. The football building includes a permanent football locker room, outdoor athletic training facilities, laundry, equipment storage, as well as mechanical space.
The heating and cooling of the soccer stadium and football buildings is provided by a new geothermal energy system, advancing Calvin’s commitment to creation care and sustainability. Its underground 3.78 mile vertical loop is adjacent to the soccer stadium.
Phase 3 ← We are here
Approximate location of Calvin’s football field and building.
A new football and lacrosse stadium with a turf field will be built adjacent to the football building and soccer stadium. Until this phase is complete, men’s and women’s lacrosse will play on the new soccer field and the football team will play home games at Grand Rapids Christian High School’s stadium at 2300 Plymouth SE, three miles west of campus.
