Barry Isett & Associates was the civil engineering consultant in the development of a Master Plan to update DeSales University’s recreational facilities. Isett worked with Sasaki Associates of Watertown, MA, in the development of a five-phase program slated to be completed over 20 years.
Phase One, projected to cost about $16 million, includes a new track and field complex; two artificial turf fields; parking improvements; baseball and softball field upgrades featuring stadium seating; and an addition to Billera Hall that will house team locker rooms and athletic offices.
The construction also will provide a “promenade,” a wide walkway that will link the athletic fields and provide a safe and expedient walkway from the parking lots to all the sport venues even as it crosses Station Avenue and Preston Lane.
