HANFORD HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETIC FIELD IMPROVEMENTS

The improvements to the field allowed the school district to increase athletic opportunities for their students as well as the nearby community. With significant community interest in the project, community meetings and workshops were held in pre-design to determine the scope of the project. Design meetings with school district staff, including coaches and the athletic director, also helped define the project. The original field was inadequate to host large sporting events such as football, soccer, or track. The project included the installation of a new artificial turf field, replacement of the track, construction of a new 2,000-seat grandstand structure, press box, field lighting upgrades, accessibility improvements, and a new restroom and concession building. Fencing was added around the facility for security and to control entrances during events.
