The $27.4 million, student athletics, academics, and recreation center is a bold investment in the student experience.

At 110,000 square feet, the fieldhouse brings together academics, wellness, athletics, and leadership development under one roof to create an environment where students can thrive on and off the field.

The materials for this project include metal siding, stone, a rubber track, and turf for the sports areas. Situated in the lobby is a conference room, featuring a stylish cantilever design with a privacy-ensuring orange semi-transparent film. The Heidelberg University fieldhouse is a testament to the university’s commitment to providing diverse, top-quality sports facilities for its student athletes.

Every programming element was chosen to support the people who will use the space:

Three basketball courts (including one with wood flooring) give athletes and intramural teams a place to train and compete.

A 200-meter competition track and turf field provide room for track athletes, field sports, and even the marching band to practice without weather interruptions.

A state-of-the-art training room helps staff and trainers keep student-athletes at their best.

Classrooms and multipurpose rooms integrate academics and athletics, giving students space to learn, meet, and collaborate.

Leadership development and team-building areas prepare students not only for the next game but for life beyond campus.

A welcoming lobby and food service area ensures that events are as much about community as competition.

An upper-level observation deck offers three-sided views, bringing fans, friends, and families into the excitement.

Frann’s Fieldhouse is designed to flex and adapt.

Retractable barriers, netting, and smart layouts allow multiple activities to happen at once, reflecting the energy and rhythm of campus life. Environmental graphics and school branding throughout the facility celebrate Heidelberg pride, creating an atmosphere that inspires both athletes and non-athletes alike.
