Vanderbilt will make $10 million in improvements to its baseball facilities, the school announced Tuesday. The project could begin as soon as the summer of 2016.
Approved by the Vanderbilt University Board of Trust, planned improvements focus on Memorial Gym, including expansion of the gym to just beyond the left-field wall, the relocation of batting cages to an existing below-ground level, renovations of the ground and top floors to house a classroom, cardio room, expanded weight room, recruiting area and offices for coaches and scouts, and the addition of a larger professional locker room for returning players. The weight room, which will be doubled in size, will also be used by the men’s and women’s basketball teams.
