The west field was designed deliberately without a surrounding track to bring the stands and field closer together with a central tunnel beneath the grandstands for the home team to enter onto the field. The same synthetic turf, light posts, and state-of-the-art AV systems are utilized on both fields for an equitable experience for all users. Multiple ground-level entry points with access to the fields, barrier-free locker rooms and multiple seating options with elevator access also creates accessibility for spectators, players, coaches, and support staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;This facility allows our students the opportunity to play in one of the premier complexes in the state of Michigan,\u201d said Jeff Malloch, Assistant Superintendent of Business Services at West Ottawa Public Schools. \u201cWe have seen continued interest in lacrosse, football, and soccer, and this complex will be utilized by our community youth from elementary age to high school student-athletes.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/gmb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/5_4870_N318_casestudy-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"west ottawa stadium night 2\" class=\"wp-image-922\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gmb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/5_4870_N318_casestudy-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gmb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/5_4870_N318_casestudy-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gmb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/5_4870_N318_casestudy-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gmb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/5_4870_N318_casestudy.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-gmb-green-two-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-gmb-green-two-background-color has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-f5a44f5b wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/gmb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/5_4870_N248_jpg_1280_853_80-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"west ottawa high stadium 1\" class=\"wp-image-1459\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gmb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/5_4870_N248_jpg_1280_853_80-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gmb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/5_4870_N248_jpg_1280_853_80-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gmb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/5_4870_N248_jpg_1280_853_80-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gmb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/5_4870_N248_jpg_1280_853_80.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Adding elevated fan experiences, such as a concourse level between the upper and lower sections of the home stands, bigger bleachers, and updated concession stands and restrooms, establishes a venue for multiple sports and attracts the entire community to utilize the facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;This is a one-of-a kind facility for West Michigan, and it\u2019s been wonderful to see student athletes from across the state enjoy the complex\u2019s unique amenities,\u201d said Nate Bosch, a Landscape Architect with GMB. \u201cThe collaboration needed to make this project come to life was an inspiring process to be a part of, and we are so pleased to celebrate this accomplishment with West Ottawa.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-gmb-green-two-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-gmb-green-two-background-color has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-f5a44f5b wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>This is the first time a GMB project has been awarded a multi-field facility of the year honor by the ASBA.
