About the Project
As the architects at OX Studio describe, “Legacy Center focuses on developing athletes of varying skill sets and ages with strong minds and bodies. The complex was master planned, and each facility designed with the vision of it serving as a gateway to the Brighton area by attracting athletes, teams, and clubs from throughout Michigan, Canada and the Mid-West.”
The complex accommodates most sports including soccer, lacrosse, football, and field hockey. Additionally, later phases of construction include a wellness center, aquatic and fitness training facilities and space for rehabilitation and physical therapy.
With the complex, there are four distinct facilities; an Athletic Dome, Field House, Baseball/Softball Training Facility, and Outdoor Playing Fields. Completed in multiple phases, due to the sheer size of the project, one of the first phases of completion was the Baseball Training Facility.
