This Texas college built a sports dynasty. Now comes a huge $43M upgrade.
The new complex would bring several championship-caliber programs back to campus.
Blinn College in Brenham, Texas, is set to begin construction on a new $43 million Sports Complex in November. The project, which will be designed by Pfluger Architects and built by Bartlett Cocke General Contractors, aims to provide state-of-the-art facilities for various athletic programs, including football, baseball, volleyball, cheerleading, soccer, and softball.
The complex will feature a 28,555-square-foot fieldhouse, two synthetic turf practice fields, an intramural/supplemental practice field, an 8-lane track, locker rooms, training facilities, and storage space. The new facilities will enhance the experience of student-athletes and the broader student body, supporting recruitment, retention, and campus life.
Notable alumni from Blinn College include NFL superstar Cam Newton, World Series champion Don Baylor, NBA champion Chris Birdman Anderson, and Olympic silver medalist James Beckford.
