PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Clemens Construction Company, Inc. transformed the University of Pennsylvania’s Meiklejohn Baseball Stadium into a modern, eco-conscious athletic green space for students. The project encompassed significant upgrades to the underground stormwater management system, a new synthetic turf field, renovated dugouts, updated protective netting, and a new pitchers development area. By employing permeable materials and strategic grading, the field now efficiently captures and filters rainwater. The advanced turf system not only promotes water conservation, it also reduces the harmful effects of fertilizer runoff into the neighboring Schuylkill River.
