The popular University of Mary Washington refrain “Get Dirty, Go Wash” was a fitting cheer for a groundbreaking ceremony held Thursday, Oct. 23 for a highly anticipated multimillion-dollar modular locker room facility at the University’s Battleground Athletic Complex.
The new locker rooms will include space for several teams, including field hockey and men’s and women’s soccer in the fall, and baseball, softball and women’s lacrosse in the spring. The project will also allow men’s lacrosse to have dedicated access to the existing locker room space in UMW’s Physical Plant. The facilities will serve nearly half of Mary Washington’s student-athletes.
“The University is proud to offer dedicated locker room spaces for its seven NCAA field sports,” said Director of Athletics Patrick Catullo. “These permanent facilities at the Battleground complex provide teams with a central place to gather, hold meetings and prepare for practices and competitions, greatly enhancing both the student-athlete experience and the University’s recruitment and retention efforts. These locker rooms will serve as a valuable asset in attracting top academic and athletic talent from across the region.”
