In the wake of the April 25 tornado, Louisiana Tech University received an outpouring of support from our city, state, and the nation, and we’re so thankful for each act of kindness and encouragement. The tornado allowed us as a University to reimagine our athletics facilities in the “context of our developing 21st Century Campus. We’ve involved coaches, students, faculty, and staff in the formation of plans moving forward, which include additional housing, updated parking, and recreational facilities to create a living and learning environment that is worthy of our wonderful students. These athletics facilities will allow our Tech Family to enjoy intercollegiate sports in a number of ways, and they will be a shining example of innovation for other schools in the nation. DR. LES GUICE UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT ” It’s such an exciting day not only for our baseball program and athletics department, but also for our great university and community as a whole. The entire landscape of our athletic facilities is being taken to an entirely new level. The same can be said for our recruitment and development “of our current and future student athletes. We are so thankful to everyone that worked so diligently and tirelessly to make this day a possibility. It has been a long process since that awful night in April, but our people have stood firm and patiently worked every day to see us come out better than before. Our loyalty, patience and persistence will allow us to reap benefits in the future. It’s a great day to be a Bulldog and Lady Techster. LANE BURROUGHS BULLDOG BASEBALL HEAD COACH ” The loss of our field was devastating and the memories we created there will never go away. This new complex will give us a chance to create even greater memories. It will play a huge role in recruiting and provide a unique experience for the student athletes and fans alike. It is exciting and “the team can’t wait to play their first game here. KEVIN SHERRY LADY TECHSTER SOCCER HEAD COACH ”
