In May, Liberty submitted construction plans to the City of Lynchburg to build the 75,000-square-foot Liberty Multipurpose Center that will open during the summer of 2022. The facility will be constructed directly beside the recently opened Liberty Indoor Tennis Center.
“The Liberty Multipurpose Center will serve a variety of campus programming needs, including Athletics, Club Sports, intramural sports, and summer camps,” Director of Athletics Ian McCaw said. “More specifically, the flexible space will be invaluable to our fall and spring sports teams, especially during inclement weather.”
The Flames’ baseball, softball, men’s and women’s soccer, and women’s lacrosse programs will benefit the most.
The space will include batting cages, divided curtains to split the facility into small workout spaces, and ample room for Liberty’s strength and conditioning teams to work with student-athletes. The surface will not be lined for a single sport, but rather will have tick marks on the turf resulting in great flexibility when moving from one sport’s practice session to another. The facility will also have a lobby, public restrooms, and storage space.
To create easier access to the facility for Liberty’s student-athletes, Liberty plans to construct a walking bridge from the Bailey Parking Lot at the Liberty Baseball Stadium over Regents Parkway.
