Women’s Lacrosse and Gymnastics Facility

Facilities for the newly established Women’s Lacrosse and Gymnastics programs are sited together atop the hill near the current Rowing Facility at the end of East Beach Drive. The goal of bringing these two programs together is to maximize the potential of this property along Lake Hartwell. The synergy of these two female student-athlete programs in conjunction with women’s rowing celebrates access to the lake and the existing trail system while creating a unique destination within the athletic campus. 


Program elements include a 9,000-SF Lacrosse Operations Facility with an NCAA regulation lighted artificial turf competition field, press box, concessions and restrooms and bleacher seating for 1,000 spectators; a 21,000-SF Gymnastics Operations and Training Facility; a 10,000-SF Elite Athlete Recovery Center; and related civil scope for sitework to include approximately 285 paved parking spaces. Future widening and re-routing of East Beach Dr. to improve vehicular and pedestrian access has also been studied but will be undertaken in a later phase. The buildings are arranged in close proximity to one another with the field/stands along the west edge to maximize efficiencies in grading and utilities. After studying various arrangements, the location was chosen to minimize cost and maintain the existing trail system to the east. Clemson Athletics’ vision for this complex is to create a unique, vibrant facility along Lake Hartwell that promotes both athletics and leisure activities.
