Sherman Carter Barnhart re-envisions University of Kentucky’s White Hall Classroom Building
University of Kentucky engages Sherman Carter Barnhart Architects with SmithGroup to transform White Hall Classroom Building, an iconic campus site.
Completed in phases, the new Boyd County High School Athletic Complex offers students a modern venue for a variety of sports and activities. The complex features competition stadiums for football, soccer, and softball. The football stadium is also used for band practice, band competitions, and physical education classes.
Located on a plateau in front of the high school, the athletic complex serves as a beacon for the community to see the exciting sports and activities.
The complex includes:
The new softball complex features a natural grass sports turf in the outfield and transitions to a natural warning track along the fence for player safety. The infield includes a natural clay surface and the home plate is enclosed with a backstop wall and net system. Both home and visiting teams have their own bullpens and set of bleachers. An underground drainage system ensures water is properly drained from the field.
The bleachers surround a masonry building directly behind the home plate with a press box on the second floor and concessions and restrooms on the first floor. The press box facility echoes the architecture of the nearby high school. The complex is connected to the high school by a pedestrian sidewalk for student and staff accessibility.
The location and the multi-purpose design make it a facility for well-rounded use and better accessibility to students in athletic programs.
