The LandTek Group® provided Stony Brook University with a top tier athletic training facility. This project features the construction of an indoor Legacy recreation center, including the fieldhouse and a synthetic turf field.

Project highlights include, year round temperature control and indoor Musco lighting system and a full netting system. The facility includes a support building structure which houses offices, sports equipment storage, locker rooms, and MEP equipment. The construction required a high level of site logistical planning with the design team, subcontractors and the needs of the athletic department.
This ground-up construction included 6 tennis courts, an outdoor roller rink, synthetic multipurpose soccer, and lacrosse field, a full-sized synthetic baseball field with a regulation soccer field within the outfield, and a brand new synthetic multipurpose field for football, soccer, lacrosse, and field hockey, and a 6 lane running track.

This project presented a number of unique and unexpected challenges due to its urban location, local authorities/requirements and design enhancements which were added and performed during the construction process. Much of the work was delicate in nature so as to preserve the myriad of existing underground municipal utilities.
The old existing turf and drainage mat were removed along with the export of the entire existing stone base and an extensive amount of old historic construction fill. This enabled LandTek to lower the existing subgrade to accommodate the new modern underground detention and drainage system, designed to meet the new stringent municipal storm water regulations. The system was designed to tie into and work in unison with the City of Philadelphia’s storm water system.
The LandTek Group® is proud to announce the completion of the historic newly named Willie Lanier Field at Virginia Union University.
