MEDAILLE SPORTS COMPLEX EXPANSION SET TO INCREASE ATHLETIC & ACADEMIC OFFERINGS

Medaille College is moving forward with the second phase of development of the Medaille Sports Complex, which will greatly increase the athletic, academic and recreational opportunities available to college students and Western New Yorkers. With an expected completion date of spring 2022, Phase II development will add almost seven acres to the already robust site, including home fields for baseball and softball, an additional softball diamond, dugouts, batting cages, press boxes, scoreboards and a multipurpose turf field with lighting (for field hockey, soccer and lacrosse).

Located at 427 Elk Street in South Buffalo, the Medaille Sports Complex currently boasts a 100,000-square-foot, top-of the-line 2½ inch thick turf field — the best concussion-rated product on the market — and a 20,000-square-foot Athletics Administration Building with state-of-the-art strength and conditioning facilities. The complex currently serves as the home field of the Medaille Mavericks men's and women's soccer and men's and women's lacrosse teams, in addition to offering rental and recreational opportunities to the greater community. The expanding space will allow Medaille to add women's field hockey to its suite of 18 other competitive NCAA Division III teams, making it the only college in Western New York to offer that as a varsity sport. 

The owner of the property, South Buffalo Development LLC (an affiliate of OSC Holdings) and real estate developer Jon Williams, will oversee this expansion once again, after winning the Buffalo Business First 2020 Brick by Brick Award for Phase I of the project. Often recognized as the very best in real estate, construction and development, Williams and South Buffalo Development see the Medaille Sports Complex as an integral part in the revitalization of South Buffalo.  

Phase II of the Sports Complex was made possible in large part due to the $1 million Higher Education Capital Matching Grant (HECap) awarded to Medaille in 2019.
