Wayne High School Softball Field Renovations

Fort Wayne Community Schools (FWCS) sought to renovate the existing softball field at Wayne High School. The existing softball facilities were aged and not at the same quality level as the athletic facilities at other high schools within the school district.

The primary goal was to replace the field and install a new drainage system. However, as part of the renovation design, the press box and dugouts were also replaced, and the scoreboard was relocated. Additionally, a quick-connect water hookup was provided to meet the field’s irrigation needs.*

JPR provided field design and both civil and structural engineering, along with architectural and MEP services. Transparent communication with FWCS was critical throughout the entire project, and the project was completed on time.

This renovation brought Wayne High School athletics in-line with more recently updated FWCS facilities – providing its students, faculty, and visitors with a better overall experience.

*The dugouts were later removed from the design and not constructed due to pandemic-related inflationary costs. FWCS self-performed the construction using a different design.
