Trinity College plans to break ground on an addition to the George M. Ferris Athletic Center, home to Bantams’ championship teams, that will create new opportunities for wellness activities for the entire community. Construction on the $30.1 million project is slated for the end of 2023, with the goal of completing the work in June 2025. The Ferris Athletic Center first opened in 1968 and much of the facility—with the exception of the Trinity Natatorium—has remained the same or experienced minor renovations even as the number of teams and the size of the coaching staff increased. The planned 37,000-square-foot addition to the footprint will take up an area currently filled by lawn. Signature features of the addition include an open-air second-floor terrace that will boast expansive views of the playing fields and iconic Chapel, and seven new squash courts with space designed to accommodate fans of Trinity’s winningest men’s and women’s teams.Â
The new center will also provide modern workspace for many head and assistant coaches. Plans include five new multipurpose rooms, which will provide opportunities for team meetings and film viewing, as well as additional classroom space for the wider college community. Additionally, Trinity students will be able to access a new fitness center including a cardio center, free-weight room, fitness studios, a multipurpose recreation gym, and student gathering spaces.
