The four major components of the complex are the Homer and Ruth Drake Field House, the William H Anderson II Family Field, the Marshall and Jane Butler Family Plaza and the Tony and Nancy Moye Family Football and Lacrosse Complex.
The new facility has been designed by Spartanburg, South Carolina-based McMillan-Pazdan-Smith Architecture and will be developed by Macon’s Chris R. Sheridan & Company. The complex will possess a capacity to house 6000. A significant feature of the complex will be a field house consisting of a sports medicine clinic. The clinic will form a part of the Mercer’s school of medicine.
The facility will also incorporate a press box, locker rooms, a weight room as well as a training room along with the playing surface and seating facilities. The field will be flanked by plazas. Other features of the complex are offices dedicated to the coaches of football and lacrosse and team meeting rooms in addition to a lounge for students.
Work is slated for completion by the end of 2012.
