Locker Room to Open for 2010-11
The department is undergoing structural changes that are being funded by bond issues and require a commitment from the superintendent position and the school board. All parties, including the community are very supportive.
These structural changes include a three-phase construction of a new athletic facility, which is taking shape at the south end of Tiger Memorial Stadium. The two-story facility will have an indoor field, locker rooms and more. Phase one will be for football with a locker room, weight room and media room. If the bond issues continue, the plan is for phase two to have the athletic offices built upstairs. The third phase plan is to have a near full size indoors football field.
The facility will be practical in many ways. Currently, the football locker rooms are across campus and the new building will put those locker rooms right at the football field. Completion of the building will consolidate the athletics where they need to be.
Additionally, other schools in the area have been building unbelievable structures for their athletic departments and the new construction will keep B.A. up to par with their competing districts.
B.A.’s goal is to have the largest indoor field and nicest facilities while keeping the whole project practical.
Phase one, the locker room phase, will be open later this summer. The photo above was taken June 15.
