The WPI Baseball program has gone without a true home facility for nearly 10 years, commuting to Northborough daily for practices and games. The team has faced growing limits to field accessibility, forcing the team to relocate several practices and home games to different fields each year. In the search for a new facility, research, site visits, and interviews were completed to establish facility criteria. Facility options were identified and evaluated based on the criteria and preliminary cost estimates. The WPI Townhouses property was chosen, and a field design was developed adhering to all local regulations. A 3D rendering of the facility and detailed cost analysis were produced. The final design incorporates all collegiate baseball field needs with an estimated cost of $3,600,000.
