Gold Medal Design believes in providing state of the art athletic facilities to increase athletic success and saw a need for such facility for the SLU Division I tennis program. The tennis team currently must travel to an off-campus facility to practice and host tournaments; the Gold Medal Design team looks to remedy that with a new tennis facility on SLU’s south campus near the current track complex. The final project design includes six NCAA standard tennis courts, a large grandstand spanning 275 feet for optimal viewing opportunities, and a 10,000 square foot building featuring tennis and track locker rooms for both men’s’ and women’s’ teams.
