A high school in Warren, Mich., is working on a $4.5 million athletics facility complex.
The Diane Laffey Athletic Complex project at Regina High School was launched a year ago to upgrade facilities for tennis, track, lacrosse, soccer, field hockey and softball.
The first phase, which includes creating eight tennnis courts, is nearly complete.
Work on the second phase — an eight-lane, quarter-mile track and artificial turf field for soccer, lacrosse and field hockey — is expected to begin this summer “pending fundraising and financing.”
The third phase will consist of the grandstand, entrance, concessions, restrooms, relocated junior varsity softball field and restructured parking lots.
The Seattle School District will be renovating its 8,000-seat Memorial Stadium under a plan that calls for a groundbreaking to take place next year.
The Seattle Public School District, Seattle Center and One Roof Foundation have finalized a term sheet for the stadium renovation and have now targeted mid-2025 to start construction.
Memorial Stadium, on the Seattle Center campus, has sat in the same spot since 1947 and includes a wall dedicated to school district students who lost their lives in World War II. It hosted events for the 1962 World’s Fair, countless concerts and high school and professional events.
