The Liberty Flames' baseball, softball, menās and womenās soccer, and womenās lacrosse programs will reap the largest benefits.
The space will include batting cages, divided curtains to split the facility into small workout spaces, and ample room for Libertyās strength and conditioning teams to work with student-athletes.
The new indoor facility will also house storage space, public restrooms, and a lobby area. The surface will not be lined for a single sport, but rather will have tick marks on the turf resulting in great flexibility when moving from one sportās practice session to another.
