Indoor Turf Facility
In January 2011, the University of Vermont Athletic Department unveiled a renovated space at its Patrick Gymnasium complex. The Multi-Purpose Facility has been repurposed into an indoor turf facility for the winter months.
"The installation of indoor artificial turf will help us address some of the winter weather challenges which we face in Vermont," said Dr. Robert Corran, Associate Vice President and Director of Athletics at Vermont.
The facility, which was funded through a combination of private donations and department funds, has been transformed into a 300x100 foot indoor turf area. The surface is comprised of 1,064 panels of Nexxfield XGen.E2 turf.
The entire campus community, as well as varsity sports programs will use the facility. UVM's Campus Recreation department will hold various activities on the turf and the men's and women's soccer and men's and women's lacrosse programs, will be able to train throughout the winter months.
