Home to 2,000 students, Colby College is a private liberal arts school located in Waterville, Maine. With more than 80 percent of Colby students participating in organized athletics, being outdoors or connected to nature is a key part of the Colby experience. and Landscape The three new, tiered fields provide outstanding facilities for soccer, field hockey, lacrosse, and many other recreational uses, including national camps, competitions, and trainings. The Colby athletic fields project consists of three varsity athletic fields, making up a new, 70-acre-plus outdoor competition center that is on track to be among the finest in the NCAA’s Division III.

. WATER Spectator Viewing Basins beneath the fields were implemented to slow and clean runoff. An irrigation system was incorporated to conserve water by automatically adjusting to precipitation and evaporation rates with the use of rain and soil sensors

to ensure watering only occurs when necessary. Previous existing playing surfaces consisted of two natural grass surfaces and one knitted nylon artificial field. The new surface has no watering requirements, which has helped the college save 15,000 gallons of water representing $4,511.25 per use. Institutions with similar systems using

PLANTS encapsulated rubber Storage The college engages biology students to identify and remove invasive plant species from defined vegetation and soil protection zones. This is an on-going initiative to protect native plant communities and support wildlife habitats. BB&N’s Franke Field SOIL Boston College’s Alumni Field All of the topsoil from the pre-existing playing fields was reused onsite. This helped minimize the need to import materials from offsite. Colby College’s Bill Alfond Field Site & Athletic MATERIALS Dexter Southfield’s Main Field Sixty-one percent of the total materials costs included materials and products that were manufactured and extracted locally, helping minimize the total distance traveled to bring materials onsite. Harvard Stadium Field Lighting HUMAN HEALTH AND WELLBEING Students and the larger community are connected to nature through varsity sports, intramurals, and health and wellness classes. The site has plenty of seating and viewing space to encourage groups to come to the fields and spend time enjoying all the games. In addition, the fields were constructed on a slope to provide unobstructed views of the surrounding nature, making a quiet place for visitors to relax and recharge while watching the game or just visiting the site. 24 Buckingham Browne & Nichols New Athletic Complex| Community Meeting
