Quinnipiac '13
Re: Quinnipiac Bobcats 2015-16 - Another journey begins...
Not exactly hockey related, but interesting:
Centerbrook Architects - the peeps who designed the Bank, along with York Hill, Rocky Top and basically all things Quinnipiac - have posted a couple of interesting plans on their website for QU athletics. Haven't seen anything posted or announced on any official Quinnipiac account yet, but it seems to confirm rumors that we have heard about the next step of some of the programs for a while now.
Lacrosse & Soccer Stadium + Field Hockey complex: http://www.centerbrook.com/project/quinnipiac_university_soccer_lacrosse_field_hockey_stadia
York Hill Athletic Field House: http://www.centerbrook.com/project/quinnipiac_university_athletic_field_house
The new athletics complex on main campus will be next to and behind the alumni house off Hogan Rd. and looks pretty spiffy if you ask me. My lone question with that is where is the women's rugby team going to play now? Gotta imagine they get rid of the current soccer field, expand the north lot parking and maybe fit the pitch in somewhere around there.
As for York Hill, I like the continuity that the field house's ceiling will have with the Bank. I just have no idea where they are going to put it. I imagine it is going to be on that open patch of grass to the right when you first get up the hill:http://www.bvhis.com/images/bvh_i_quinnipiac-york-hill.jpg . If they are able to squeeze that over there, it will create one heck of a view when inside the facility, but ruin the initial view for those driving up to York Hill. I wonder how/if it will affect hockey traffic on game nights.
Either way, the facilities themselves look gorgeous, and I am very excited to see what the finished product looks like.
