The 280,000-square-foot structure will house two full-sized major league artificial soccer fields along with classroom and office space to accommodate a new on-site charter school. Real Salt Lake selected a pre-engineered Nucor building as the ideal solution for the Training Complex. By using the Nucor TrussFrame Open Web Rafter System, the facility is designed with an impressive 400’ wide clearspan which is planned to be the largest pre-engineered clearspan building in the state of Utah.

Groundbreaking commenced in summer 2016 and the facility is planned to open in the fall of 2017 in time for Academy classes, and fully operational in advance of the 2018 MLS / USL campaigns. “As an organization, we believe that building this gathering place from ground up, developing local talent, and training that talent to an elite level, will lead to stronger connection and ultimate success. The goal has been to create a program for youth training and academy training that is equal to anything that you could find in Europe at the elite soccer academies: Ajax, Barcelona, England.” - Dell Loy Hansen, Owner, RSL
