Every project links to the city packet it came from.

Building material changes and additional sports field improvements were approved for the new Field House and associated sports fields at Canal Winchester Local Schools. This includes replacing translucent panels with metal, changing the roof color, installing a single centralized press box with restrooms, adding storage to dugouts, and fully turfing baseball and softball fields. Utilities will also be run to the fields.

What happened

The Planning and Zoning Commission approved amendments to the approved building materials for the new Field House and additional improvements to the sports fields at 300 Washington Street. This includes changes to exterior panels and roof color for the Field House, consolidating press boxes, integrating storage into dugouts, and fully turfing baseball and softball fields, along with utility extensions.

Why it matters

This approval finalizes major components of the Field House exterior and extensive sports field construction. It defines specific work for roofing, general construction, site work, landscaping (turfing), excavation, and utility contractors. Concrete will be needed for the press box and dugout foundations. Painting may be required for interiors/exteriors, preceded by power washing for prep/cleanup.

Timing

These changes were approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission. Next steps would typically involve finalizing construction documents and moving towards bidding for the various trades involved in the amended scope.
