Lawrence School District
Location: Lawrence, Long Island, NY Typology: Public School District
Size: 15 Acres Scope: Field & running track design; NYSDEC permitting
Client: Wiedersum Associates Architects Status: Completed 2010
As a sub-consultant to Wiedersum Associates Architects, RDA re-developed the Lawrence High School fields and track into both a state-of-the-art athletic facility and storm water mitigation project. Work included a new synthetic turf football/soccer field and the renovation of a 400-meter resilient-surfaced running track. The perimeter of the site was rebuilt as a series of "moats" to capture run-off from the natural grass fields as well as reduce high-tide flooding from the adjacent tidal channel. RDA also prepared site plans for the renovation of the Lawrence Middle School tennis courts and running track,
