LOCKER ROOM PROJECT AT FRANK M. LINDSAY FIELD
“The facility represents something truly invaluable to our sport. Track & Field doesn’t typically have a social & cultural center,
outside of just meeting at the track. Our sport is unique in that we are several teams within a team, and there aren’t enough
opportunities to bring the various event groups together. This new space would create a sense of unity within our event groups, providing a venue through which we would truly
cement the future of the program. It would allow us to host large-scale meets and provide the support that our Track & Field athletes need to be successful.”

Millikin University’s plan to build a new locker room at Frank M. Lindsay Field aims to directly benefit the heart of our athletic programs: student-athletes. With their success and futures in mind, Millikin’s investment will
renew our commitment to Big Blue teams and athletes, and act as a draw for the next generation of MU student-athletes.
There is no doubt that additional locker room space is needed for our
athletic programs to continue to grow and thrive. The construction of this new facility will solve several existing issues while also allowing Millikin to host CCIW and NCAA competitions. Congestion in
Griswold’s locker rooms will be alleviated and the immediate needs of Big Blue football and men’s and women’s track and field teams will be met. The new facility will offer Millikin home teams field-level access and is designed to feature 120 lockers with the ability to convert to

two 60-locker spaces with a divider.
Competitive sports remain an important part of Millikin’s ongoing mission of Performance Learning, especially during the challenges
posed by the ongoing pandemic. Since August 2020, it has been my
goal to secure as many contests as possible and to make those contests meaningful for our student-athletes.
Gathering funding for the construction of this facility will go a long
way toward achieving this goal, and we need your help. You can make an impact on the future of Big Blue athletic programs and studentathletes by supporting the Frank M. Lindsay Field Locker Room project.
