Caird Center for Sports and Recreation Completed during the summer of 2010, the Caird Center for Sports and Recreation unites several keystone elements of the Colleges’ athletics campaign priorities, including Boswell Field, the Froelich Gatehouse and the Elliott Varsity House expansion. The project provides broad-reaching support that directly benefits all students who participate in intramural, club sports, outdoor recreation, and other wellness programs, in addition to nearly two-thirds of HWS varsity athletes, including the football, lacrosse, squash, and tennis teams. Named in honor of the remarkable dedication and generosity of Jim ’56 and Cindy Caird, the renovation project included a state-of-the-art FieldTurf surface for Boswell Field, a new grandstand and press box, lights for night games, and expanded locker rooms and sports medicine facilities in Elliott Varsity House.
