From Webster-Kirkwood Times: St. Louis Community College is currently working on $18 million in athletics renovations, including a state-of-the-art athletic complex at its Meramec campus in Kirkwood, as well as updates to the Forest Park gymnasium.
“Athletics is an important part of the collegiate experience and for many students, it provides a way to help them achieve their academic goals,” said STLCC Chancellor Jeff Pittman. “We’re extremely proud of the new buildings and renovations on our campuses. The improvements to our athletic facilities are another way STLCC is investing in our students, as well as our community.”
The STLCC-Meramec complex will include new athletic fields for softball, baseball and soccer, along with a concession stand, seating, dugouts, scoreboards and turf surfaces. Interior improvements include updated locker rooms and renovated athletics offices that will create a dedicated recruitment space.
“This new complex and the interior renovations are an investment in our student-athletes and their experience at STLCC, providing modern spaces where they can train and build connections with their teammates,” said Sharon Marquardt, STLCC district-wide director of athletics. “It will be especially rewarding to watch them compete on these new fields and create memories that will last a lifetime.”
Work is ongoing at the Meramec campus, with the project expected to continue through spring 2027.
“This project represents so much more than new athletic fields,” said Feleccia Moore-Davis, campus president at Meramec. “It’s about providing STLCC-Meramec students with a complete college experience. We’re creating a true home for our student-athletes, while giving all of our students more opportunities to support their classmates, attend games and connect with one another.”
To make room for the additions on the Meramec campus, the track is being removed as part of the renovations. The track is in need of significant and costly repairs, and the community college no longer has a track and field program.
