In May, our team celebrated the start of construction on a special project impacting athletes, families, and surrounding communities for the better. Representatives from Grace College, Design Collaborative, the Town of Winona Lake, the City of Warsaw, and Kosciusko County came together to lift shovels, symbolically marking the beginning of a new future marked by community, wellness, and building bridges through recreation.

Bridging Communities

Weigand is serving as the construction manager for a new fieldhouse at Grace College on 1 Lancer Way in Winona Lake, Indiana. While the new facility will be used for Lancer’s athletic program training, the core purpose of the complex addition is to engage people in neighboring communities throughout Kosciusko.

The completed project will feature a U12 indoor turf soccer field, parking lot, updated road access, eight lighted outdoor pickleball courts, fitness center, weight room, and six indoor batting cages.

The outdoor facilities and indoor field will be accessible to the public for gatherings and youth sports, addressing the need for more spaces that support recreational activities.

“We’re not just adding a building to our campus, we are creating a vital resource for our entire community. We celebrate God’s goodness in providing the means to serve our neighbors in such a tangible and lasting way.” – John Sloat, Vice President of Advancement, Grace College

The Bigger Picture

Part of a series of projects for the Catalyst Corridor initiative, the Grace College Community Fieldhouse will help to build stronger ties in Kosciusko by providing spaces where students, athletes, families, and friends can gather in places designed to foster connection, share experiences, and knit a stronger social fabric. WCI is grateful for the opportunity to play a role in helping make this regional development effort a reality.
