Can you imagine having this view at a state of the art soccer facility? To celebrate World Landscape Architecture Month, we're highlighting a project that we're very proud to introduce. In the Town of Chino Valley, Arizona, a new youth soccer training facility is in planning and design. Understanding the local context and the advanced programming desires for the facility are key to designing a facility that not only serves the local youth athletes, but elevates them. See below for the Phase 1 layout and the vision for the ultimate buildout. 

It's nice to have a birds-eye view of the progress, click here to watch the drone video. Maricopa High School #2 construction is moving along nicely. The classroom buildings are quite far along. The traffic circle shines brightly in the Arizona sun. The start of the Track and Field construction is the latest development. Thanks again to our in-house drone pilot, Jake. We are so proud to have such a great team with Orcutt | Winslow and Chasse Building Team. 

We have been working hard on the design for the Clark Field track facility at St. Anthony High School in Long Beach. We're so excited to see the track come to life. The track edges and slot drains are nearly installed. This site will have a high performance AstroTurf synthetic turf field with a Rekortan surfaced track. 

Athletic Business recently highlighted ASU Beach Volleyball in their Facility Friday article. We're pretty excited about it too. Read the full article here.

Here's an exciting update on Crismon High School in Queen Creek, Arizona. The buildings are looking great and they are making good progress on the sports fields. We have a drone pilot on our team here at Lloyd Sports + Engineering, and he took some great footage at the site. Click HERE to watch. It's pretty fun to watch the construction vehicles moving around the site like this. Thanks Jake!

Highlighting our partners on this project: Orcutt | Winslow, Core Construction, the Town of Queen Creek and the Queen Creek Unified School District.

The 2022 World Cup will be upon us before we know it! Qatar will be the host this year, and the new stadiums are stunning. Lloyd Sports + Engineering was honored to be a part of the design team of Lusail Stadium performing the role of Technical Peer Review. It's always satisfying to see the plans come to life. Check out this short video showing the stadium as it looks today. It will be a fantastic place to host the World Cup this Fall!

Congratulations to our partners and the entire design team: Foster+Partners, Populous, ARUP, CH2M Hill and HOK.
