Athletic Business Features Multipurpose Athletic Fields Article by Meghan Friedle
LaBella’s Meghan Friedle discusses the complexity of designing multipurpose athletic fields.
Communities are asking more of their athletic fields than ever before. Multipurpose fields must be designed not only to handle heavy use but also drain efficiently, meet regulations, and fit within site constraints.
What is the key to designing a field that can perform for decades? Early civil engineering involvement, because what looks like a simple field is actually an intricate infrastructure system.
Athletic Business recently featured an article by Meghan Friedle, Sr. Civil Designer and Market Leader. In the piece, titled “Designing for Complexity: The Civil Engineering Behind Multipurpose Athletic Fields,” Friedle dives into the key components of constructing a new athletic field, including grading, stormwater management, soil conditions, and infrastructure within a tight footprint.
