University of Maryland Field Hockey and Lacrosse Field, College Park, Maryland

A. Morton Thomas and Associates, Inc. (AMT) provided design services associated with construction of the field hockey/lacrosse competition field at the University of Maryland College Park. The new field hockey facility meets NCAA requirements. The field hockey facility includes approximately 1000 seat bleacher seating, lighted synthetic competition field, electronic scoreboard, seating areas for home and away teams, perimeter fencing around the playing field surface and fencing around the entire site. A sprinkler system was also provided to allow the field to be wetted down before and during play. The sprinkler system was designed to wet the entire playing field during the game time half-time break. The synthetic playing field surface was constructed over a porous pavement section including a gravel subbase and underdrain system. A trench drain system was constructed around the entire synthetic playing surface to eliminate run-off from draining onto the playing surface. The field hockey facility was designed to allow for the future construction of a locker room storage facility.
