Denton ISD Bill Carrico Fieldhouse
Project Information Year Built: 2009
Braswell High School’s athletic program demanded a safe space for athletes. The district’s design called for new field houses that were both adjacent to the fields/ facilities where there athletes were training while providing separation of the male and female locker rooms. The common spaces were also designed to provide ease of access for all athletes including the indoor training facility with large windows to provide as much natural light as possible and creating coaches office and locker room spaces while maintaining proper coaching supervision among the athletes. Braswell High School has three field houses, one dedicated for football, one for soccer, track, and golf, and another for baseball, softball, and tennis. The football field house has dedicated locker rooms and meeting spaces for the varsity and sub-varsity teams, a state-of-the-art weight room, and a coach’s suite with locker rooms, offices, and conference space. The soccer, track, and golf field house includes locker rooms for each sport accessed from separate areas of the building for men and women. A centralized weight room and team meeting room work to both separate the locker room suites and provide access to any athlete. The training room for all athletes is located in this field house with access directly from the exterior. The baseball, softball, and tennis field house is separated into two buildings, one for the male athletes and one for the female athletes. The separation of the buildings creates a entry portal into the baseball/softball complex. Sustainable features were incorporated into the creation of the field houses, including adding polished concrete floors throughout the buildings, complete with the school colors and incorporating natural light into many spaces in the facility.
