The new home for Virginia men’s and women’s tennis is being constructed adjacent to the Boar’s Head Sports Club, which currently houses the indoor courts. The project will be constructed in two phases with the first phase underway. Phase I has been approved at $7.4 million and includes the following:
- Six courts
- Seating for 450 spectators
- Scoreboard
- Building for restrooms, audio visual and storage
If funding is available, a stadium style exhibition court can be added, giving the tennis student-athletes a unique setting to train and compete.
The second phase will be constructed if funds are raised to complete the entire project and would include the construction of the pavilion that will provide locker rooms, training room, student athlete lounge, conference room, hall of fame, lobby and coaches offices. The cost is projected to be $3 -$4 million. In addition, a new strength and conditioning room will be created after renovating the team locker rooms in the Boars Head Sports Club. Construction can begin once all the money has been raised.
