A key priority identified in the 2025 Master Plan will be the expansion and modernization of the district’s athletic support facilities—beginning with a new, updated weight room. This upgraded training space will serve a dual role: it will function as a physical education classroom for both middle and high school students and will act as a core training facility for nearly all athletic programs. In addition to the weight room, the project will include renovations to the locker room facilities and the addition of shared locker rooms for visiting teams, cross country events, and officials. The Max Evans Addition will also provide much-needed restrooms for the softball field, additional support spaces for the athletic complex, and will help frame future upgrades to the stadium bleachers. The introduction of a turf field at the Strafford athletic complex will enhance accessibility, reduce maintenance costs, and significantly improve year-round playability. Unlike natural grass, turf will provide a consistent, durable surface that holds up in inclement weather— allowing for more practice time, fewer cancellations, and a better overall experience for students and the community. These upgrades, along with planned improvements to the Max Evans Addition, will culminate in the creation of Indian Plaza—a pedestrian-friendly hub that will unify all athletic facilities. Indian Plaza will encourage shared use during sporting events and will provide students, families, and visitors with a more immersive and engaging game-day experience. As part of this broader vision, the press box will also undergo renovation and expansion to better serve staff and support operations during events. New ticket, concessions, and press box buildings for the baseball and softball fields will represent an investment in both student op - portunity and community pride. These facilities will create a more complete and functional game-day experience—providing shelter and convenience for spectators, a professional environment for staff and media, and a welcoming first impression for visiting teams and families. Dedicated concessions and restrooms will improve comfort and accessibility, while the new press box will support scorekeeping, announcements, and media coverage with modern amenities. These improvements will reflect the same level of commitment demonstrated in other campus upgrades and will ensure that Strafford’s student-ath- letes and fans have facilities that match their talent and dedication.
