MARYVILLE, Mo. — Campus improvements are underway at Northwest Missouri State University, including the relocation of the Mark Rosewell Tennis Center, part of a larger effort involving Martindale Hall renovations and storm water system updates.
The university’s intercollegiate tennis courts are being relocated from their longtime spot near the Foster Fitness Center to west of Hughes Fieldhouse, adjacent to the Bearcat Soccer Pitch. The move was prompted by planned trenching through the current site later this summer, which made restoration impractical.
Concrete work for the new tennis courts was completed on Monday, with the project on track for an early August completion.
The campus upgrades extend beyond tennis. The throws cage for track and field has also been relocated, consolidating shotput, discus, hammer throw, and javelin into a shared area. The changes reflect a long-term facilities plan developed years ago.
