This week, the State of Louisiana authorized construction to begin on Louisiana Tech University's baseball facility and soccer and softball complex, replacing those that were destroyed during the storm that tore through Ruston almost one year ago.
Lincoln Builders, contractor for the projects, has begun work at the baseball facility, and area residents will see work begin on the soccer and softball complex during the month of March. The architectural firm for both projects is Tim Brandon and Associates of West Monroe.
"The start of new construction on these facilities is another significant step in the recovery process from the storm but also for the future of Louisiana Tech and the region," said Gov. John Bel Edwards. "I am grateful for the consistent leadership of President Guice and his team as they successfully navigated the challenges and complexities of this process. I also want to recognize the partnership of the Office of Facility Planning and Control, the Office of Risk Management, the Governor's Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness, and FEMA. These agencies worked closely with Louisiana Tech to expedite the process and maximize the funding."
That tornado was a major blessing in disguise for Tech. Very little out of pocket cost for Tech if I understand correctly.

I don't know how old this was originally but we also don't play at Sam Hood Field anymore either. If we did, we wouldn't have been able to hire Coach Grassie and wouldn't have a National Title.
ODU is doing some renovation work to the LR Hill facility, adding lockers, a new players lounge, more showers, more bathrooms. Renderings should be out soon.
They also recently resurfaced the outdoor tennis courts and will be adding a new scoreboard at the facility.

Someone please check on CLT. He may be experiencing heart palpitations over ODU's new Tennis Courts.
