University School of Jackson is excited to announce that its Board of Trustees has approved funding for the next scheduled project on the Campus Master Plan.
According to a press release from Pam Stanfield – USJ’s Director of Marketing and Communications – the current tennis courts, located behind the Middle and Upper School building and adjacent to the soccer field, will soon be relocated away from the sports complex.
The future courts will be moved to the old Lower School elementary playground site, which is south of Carlock Stadium.
The project will include an expansion in the number of tennis courts from six to eight, in addition to the new location. The courts’ old site will provide for much-needed additional parking spaces in the future to reduce stress during the spring sports season.
As the next stage of USJ’s Campus Master Plan is slated to begin, Board member James Kirkland shared, “We feel fortunate that even through this pandemic, our programs have remained strong, including the financial support provided to USJ by our generous community.
“We are excited to take the next step in our Campus Master Plan. This project will also open up space for the next phase of parking improvements to our sports complex.”
“USJ has been incredibly blessed to remain operational through the entire fall semester despite a pandemic. The dedication of our faculty, staff, administrators, and trustees has been tremendous.
“They are genuinely committed to the school and are willing to work together toward solutions to continue the school’s mission of growing our students.”
A groundbreaking for USJ’s new Tennis Complex will be held at 3:30 p.m., Monday, February 8.
