Dove Fieldhouse
Dove Fieldhouse
Spurred by a wonderfully generous lead gift by Jenny and Tim Dove ’75, the second phase in the redevelopment of South Campus featured the installation of two full-sized turf practice fields, and a 26,000-square foot fieldhouse to accommodate the practice needs of Jesuit’s competitive athletic programs. In addition to dedicated indoor spaces for crew, cycling, golf, and wrestling, the two-story facility includes an athletic training room, a flex space for film study, locker rooms, coach offices (named in loving memory of Brian Jennings), and the Aaron Family Observation Deck – a second-story open-air lounge facing the fields.
The Fieldhouse provides innovative solutions for sport-specific training throughout the year, highlighted by the Spieth Family Golf Center, which includes three aboutGOLF simulation bays programmable to evaluate play at many of the world’s most notable courses, in addition to an indoor putting and chipping area; the facility also features an 8-station indoor rowing tank with the smartOar® real-time force curve feedback system – one of 60 in the world – which provides instant analysis of stroke technique and performance; a dedicated training space and workshop for Jesuit Cycling, which again leverages technology in providing advanced analytics aimed at improving performance; and The Bob and Andrea Neuhoff ’63 Wrestling Room, which contains 16 practice circles and a competition mat.
