RECREATION EXPANSION AND TOMLINSON STADIUM UPGRADES The design work for Recreation Expansion and Tomlinson Stadium Upgrades projects were combined to maximize overall efficiencies. D.A. Hogan & Associates was selected through an RFQ process to design the projects, refine the project budgets, and produce documents for construction. DA Hogan will work closely with the Lydig-Mahlum team engaged in the New Hall project to ensure a seamless design and look across the North Campus projects. The design will prioritize pedestrian access and parking components between these two projects. The construction of the Recreation Expansion and Tomlinson projects will be bid as one to attract stronger bidders. The creation of this facility is the first significant expansion of student recreational facilities since the construction of the Student Union and Recreation Center in 2006. It will be one of only two outside recreation facilities with lighting. The Dean of Student Success provided the planning committee with priorities for the project on Aug. 22, 2017. They included the following: • Development of a track & field facility that CWU Athletics could utilize for practice and competition, and meets specifications for NCAA Division II championship competition • Restroom facilities • Seating to accommodate guests and fans • Lighting for night events/programming • Artificial turf on the interior of the track to accommodate intramural sports. • If possible, the facility may include a small fitness/recreation area attached to restroom area to increase recreation offerings. The project will build a track & field facility in the southeast corner of North Wildcat Way and 18 th Avenue. The expansion will include a throws area for javelin, shotput, hammer, and discus. University Recreation will fund and manage the facility. The relationship between University Recreation and users will be articulated in a memorandum of understanding developed as a part of the overall project. The proposed completion date for the project is September 2018. Fine tuning of the project scope and additive alternatives is underway and bid documents will be issued in February 2018.
