Andrus Family Field House

An exciting space to test your limits

The Alma College community is buzzing with news about the Andrus Family Field House, which is being built just west of campus. With the college’s baseball and soccer fields, the new facility comprises the Hatcher Athletics Campus.

When completed, the 78,080-square-foot field house will include a regulation indoor track, drop-down batting cages, locker rooms, office space and a team meeting room. An artificial turf infield will serve as an indoor practice space for the college’s athletic teams, marching band, and summer camps.

After a “soft opening” on Monday, Jan. 6, we’re pleased to say that students and coaches are using the field house. We have a temporary certificate of occupancy and a temporary inspection approval on all areas of the facility. We expect to have everything finalized and permanently approved before the end of the month. Mechanical, fire, plumbing and electrical work was completed over the holiday. This project was completed on time and on-budget. Stay tuned for more information as students explore the space and we prepare for a grand opening!

Electrical fixture installation, painting and landscaping is close to complete. Netting, which will be used by various sports, will be installed soon, as will the air handling units.
