Mifflin County School District Athletic Complex Design-Build | Lewistown, PA

Project Summary

Keystone Sports Construction recently completed a design-build for Mifflin County High School Stadium, Auxiliary Field, Baseball and Softball Infields, and Track in Lewistown, Pennsylvania.

The Client

Mifflin County School District is based in Lewistown, Pennsylvania. Beyond athletics, its Huskies Television program gives students opportunities to write and produce school news broadcasts.

The Challenge

The complex required coordinated demolition, drainage, field construction, track work, and spectator facilities across several athletic areas.

Construction Process

The design-build project consisted of several phases, starting with demolition of the existing sites, the removal of existing turf infields for the baseball and softball fields, and the excavation of the grass field for the stadium. Asphalt was also removed from the existing track and parking lot areas. After the removal of the existing turf for the baseball and softball fields, a stormwater drainage system was installed for both fields. After grading the stone base, Keystone then installed a dual fiber sports turf system for both infields with raised mounds. Paved walkways were installed connecting the plaza and fields. Keystone also installed a stormwater drainage system and a stone base system for the turf field stadium after excavating the grass field and removing the existing track.

Afterwards, a dual-fiber sports turf system was installed for the field. Additionally, Keystone installed bleachers along the endzone, home side, and visitors’ side, along with ball barrier netting. The visitors’ side also features a press box with a media station. Additionally, Musco sports lighting and a video scoreboard were installed, along with a new parking lot and chain link fence. A new storm drainage system and stone base were also installed at the new auxiliary field and track. Keystone then installed a dual-fiber sports turf system.

A high jump, long jump, pole vault, and throwing events area were also constructed. Track surfacing was then installed on the track and track event areas. Benches and ball barrier netting were then installed. Additionally, Musco sports lighting and a digital scoreboard were installed, along with a new parking lot and chain link fence.
