Hudsonville Public Schools New Indoor Facility Wins ASBA Top Multipurpose Fieldhouse Award

Hudsonville’s new fieldhouse encompasses 104,000 SF of top-of-the-line athletics space that includes locker rooms, a 1/9 mile running track, two-levels of fitness and strength areas, a multipurpose tennis court, and three full size basketball/volleyball courts with spectator seating for 3,700 people. The unique top-loading design of the fieldhouse delivers a 360-view of the court floor and connects spaces on the upper level, making the facility ideal for hosting competitions, expositions, and community events.

“The new fieldhouse elevates the athletics experience for our entire student body, while also creating a welcoming space for the Hudsonville community,” said Dr. Doug VanderJagt, Superintendent of Hudsonville Public Schools. “We are so fortunate to have the community’s support to make this fieldhouse a reality. The final product reflects and celebrates the student talent that we have here in Hudsonville.”

“The fieldhouse spaces truly capture the essence of Hudsonville and serve as a source of inspiration for students,” said Matt Heidloff, landscape architect at GMB. “This project not only unifies the campus but also establishes a state-of-the-art facility where students and their families can feel welcome and proud.”

Awards are presented each year to facilities built by ASBA members, which best exemplify excellence in sports facility design and construction, as well as an understanding of the technical requirements and current professional standards for athletics facilities. Projects are scored individually based on considerations such as layout and design, site work, drainage, base construction, surface, amenities, innovation, and overall impression.
