Plans Unveiled For New Cardinal Sports Complex Continued From Page 1 down to four projects that were close to their requirements. Another determining factor that was considered in picking a design was cost. Narrowing it down further, the Foundation determined that they wanted features from two designs incorporated into one,” said Pirzada. “This new design features a controlled and gated entranceway with a ticket booth, bleachers, restrooms, concession stand, high jump and shot put area. It also has a water fountain with sponsors names and a flag at the entrance.” The projects of Williams Amaya of Harvey and Chris Koschki of Berkshire are the students whose designs were chosen to be blended into one. The two Auburn Career juniors explained the decision-making processes used to develop size and placement of lights, bleachers, buildings and track. The projected total cost of the two-phase project will be 1.5 million dollars before donated materials. The first phase, field lighting and concessions/restrooms will be completed spring of 2015. Artificial turf and an eight-lane track are slated for spring 2016 and will be in place for fall sports. Amaya said, “I did a lot of online research taking into account the amount of people and making sure there was accessibility for everyone. I had to think of it as just another class presentation so I didn’t get too nervous. It feels great doing all of this and lets me know what the real-world is going to be like.” “This is the first time that I have designed a football and track field area. I looked at the limited amount of space available with the field areas and also the budget for my design,” Koschki said. Drawings of the facility are available at https://www.facebook.com/ HuskieNationFoundation?ref=hl. All branches of the Middlefield Bank Company are receiving donations or they can be mailed to P.O. Box 382, Middlefield OH, 44062. The Huskie Nation Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization and all donations are tax deductible.
