Siena Heights has established itself as an athletic force in a number of sports. This is particularly true in track and field. During the past 25 years, there have been more than 100 All-Americans, 50 Academic All-Americans, nine National Champions, three Olympic Trials qualifiers and one American Champion. The Saints running programs have won over 45 championships, including 26 league titles. We would like to have our facilities keep pace with that success. An all-weather track featuring a scoreboard and timing systems will support intercollegiate meets, as well as assist with our own athletes’ training.
 
The infield of the new track will provide space for a new combination soccer/lacrosse playing field. This will become our primary soccer field, and will support a new lacrosse program for the University. If resources allow, we would like to provide lighting, expanded seating, restrooms, concessions and ticket gate.

The strongest facility need for many years has been a well-located, comfortable, welcoming family room, a “heart” of the campus, a “Town Square” or “Times Square” of Siena. While students would of course be the principal users, it would also serve as a gathering spot for faculty and staff – a place to hang out. We need a setting where students can study and socialize. This new center will be a place for current and future students to gather and organize their priorities for the day. This center would add this aspect to the total Siena experience.
