The High School Athletic Complex is on ‘track’ to become a hub of excellence, fostering a vibrant sporting culture for our students and the broader community.  

The project's current focus is the installation of an efficient drainage system, which involves excavation and underground wiring to ensure the longevity and resilience of the playing surface, contributing to a safe and optimal environment for our student athletes. 

Simultaneously, progress is evident in the transformation of the spectator areas. The initial steps involve the careful dismantling of existing bleachers, paving the way for the installation of contemporary replacements. The exciting development also includes preparations for the installation of the new grandstands and press box, marking a significant leap towards a more modern and accommodating athletic facility.  

Collaboration remains a cornerstone of this endeavor, with ongoing coordination between the district, architects, and contractors. The teams are working diligently to finalize the fabrication details for the grandstands and press box, aiming for completion by spring 2024. This meticulous planning ensures that the upcoming installations align seamlessly with Baldwin UFSD’s vision for an upgraded and dynamic athletic complex.
