KBA was initially engaged to assess and provide programming services for Ledyard High School’s existing outdated track and field facility, which ultimately led to the proposed master plan. The athletic facility improvements extended beyond replacing the existing track and converting the natural grass field to synthetic turf and included both accessibility and safety concerns.
The existing track and grass field were separated by a varying height concrete curb, which created safety concerns for athletes utilizing the track and field. Additionally, track events such as the long/triple jump, pole vault, and high jump were reconfigured to allow for better use of the space. The new synthetic turf field and running track are state-of-the-art surfaces that support both player performance and safety.
