Covered grandstands, athletics facility planned for the future
Following its move from downtown to northwest Austin five years ago, Concordia University Texas, 11400 Concordia University Drive, is poised to see its first expansion at the new campus located off RR 620.
Dallas-based contractor The Beck Group will build a $2.6 million NCAA regulation softball field adjacent to the school's Tornado Baseball Field, Communications Director Melinda Brasher said. The project has been in the design phase for the past year and is anticipated to be finished by the end of 2014, in time for the Lady Tornados to begin their spring 2015 season, she said. Construction is set to start this summer, she said.
Brasher said the initial project will include the field, dugouts for home and visiting teams and additional parking.
"Long term, the university hopes to raise an additional $4 million to build covered grandstands and a 12,000-square-foot athletic facility that will include locker rooms, training facilities, offices and a weight room," she said.
