New Rochelle School District Athletic Fields

In 1998, JBC was commissioned to assist the New Rochelle School District in the development of a $4.1 million public referendum to improve and restore all outdoor athletic facilities throughout the District. The master plan included a detailed needs assessment and schematic recommendations for six elementary schools, two middle schools and one 400,000 square foot high school. Over 20 playing fields were inventoried and evaluated. As a highly urbanized city, New Rochelle School District has been precluded from adding new facilities for many years. Heavy program use by the District is further complicated by open community use by local Parks and Recreation, club sport leagues, adult leagues and unscheduled community use.

To stem the deterioration of the facilities, JBC developed a creative, controlled-access program along with new sportsturf technologies.

Construction is currently underway.
