埃尔迈拉大学 is moving forward with a multi-sport turf field – an exciting opportunity that will not only enhance the College’s Athletics, but also support enrollment 和 retention efforts, 和 support mental 和 physical well-being on campus as identified in the 学院的2023-2028战略计划

请帮助我们启动 草皮场地项目 with your generous philanthropic support. Initial funding is needed to ensure that the project has the maximum positive impact on new student enrollment 和 retention for the fall 2024 term 和 for years to come. We are thrilled that the project will increase our athletic offerings – bringing back 男人的女子曲棍球 teams as well as serving as the on-campus home field for 曲棍球男人的女子足球 – 和 support mental 和 physical well-being on campus for all students through increased recreational 和 intramural opportunities.

Every gift matters on this important 和 transformative on-campus construction project. Please consider making a gift or pledging your support today!

项目的更新
  • 2024年4月8日: The 埃尔迈拉大学 Turf Field construction project was approved by the City of Elmira, with one remaining permit needing to be secured regarding surface water percolation. Testing is scheduled for the week of April 15. A percolation test is a soil test designed to measure its water absorption rate. Percolation tests are required before all construction projects to ensure the new construction does not flood the area or negatively impact the City’s stormwater or sewer systems. Once the final permit is approved, construction will begin.
