Coinciding with the Beavers’ amazing run to national prominence and a BCS Fiesta Bowl victory, SportsPLAN Studio has guided the programming and design of a new practice facility at Oregon State. In just seven months, SportsPLAN Studio and BOORA Architects completed programming, site planning, design and bid documents. The project, with its full-size synthetic turf is designed primarily for football, but thoughtful features are included to accommodate soccer, baseball and softball practices as well. The project was completed in September 2001.

The gambrel roof shape recalls the agrarian history of Oregon State and provides maximum clearance down the center of the field to support indoor kicking and passing drills. The Field House is a simple and inexpensive structure enhanced with the University’s preferred blend of brick materials.
