Our team is wrapping up construction at Arizona Desert Elementary School in Tolleson, Arizona. The project has been a great partnership with Tolleson Elementary School District, Arizona Desert Elementary School Staff, SPS + Architects, Chasse Building Team, and our team at Lloyd! The project is slated for a grand opening event later this week. We look forward to seeing the students and local community utilizing this new sports facility.

Lloyd provided general civil engineering and sports design for this award winning spring training facility, located on 140-acres of SRPMIC land. The facility, shared by the Arizona Diamondbacks and Colorado Rockies, is centered around an 11,000-seat open-air stadium complete with vending and retail areas, restrooms, private suites, and concourses. The project includes 13 baseball fields with premium turf, rootzone, and drainage systems and are designed for professional competition. Each team occupies its own training grounds with state-of-the-art clubhouse buildings, practice areas, and secured parking. The site landscaping and baseball fields are irrigated from a large onsite lake. 

Civil engineering services included grading and drainage, infrastructure, and roadway design, in addition to sports engineering which included design of the professional playing fields. This project is the first LEED Gold-certified sports venue of its kind in the United States.

In 2018, the Lloyd team was hired to assist the AZ Diamondbacks with renovations for both Salt River Fields and Chase Field concurrently, providing design and construction administration services for the conversion of natural grass to synthetic turf at two of the fields at the training complex.

Our team is currently working with Orcutt Winslow and the Maricopa USD #20 on Desert Sunrise High School in Maricopa, AZ. Team member Justin Peterson took these beautiful sunrise photos last week while string lining the baseball fields out on site. The future school campus at Murphy and Farrell Roads will be a valuable addition to the District and the local community once open. ​

For Lloyd, we always aim to provide the greatest value and strive for the highest-quality field and facility that meets both client and end user expectations. At Dickinson State University in North Dakota, the Lloyd team designed the campus’ new softball facility, which is nearing completion and is gaining interest and popularity in the region. With tournaments for next spring already filling up the facility’s calendar, the new fields and associated amenities will be a valuable asset for the school and student athletes. The design team took the challenge of going beyond standard facility design norms and expectations to provide this state-of-the-art facility while still meeting the school’s budget and schedule.

Lloyd Sports + Engineering stopped by the City of Mesa's donation drop off event this year to help support the City's partnership with United Food Bank, and their Great Turkey Tuesday annual fundraising event. Lloyd donated several turkeys for this great cause to help the less fortunate this holiday season.
