Project Summary
Keystone Sports Construction recently completed a multisport turf field replacement at Rowan University in Glassboro, New Jersey.
The Client
Rowan University opened in 1923 as the New Jersey State Normal School at Glassboro, with a mission to prepare teachers. The institution became Rowan University in 1997.
The Challenge
The project required removal of the existing turf, reclamation and recycling of the infill, and laser grading of the existing stone base before the replacement surface was installed.
Construction Process
The project was initiated with the removal and disposal of existing turf, along with reclaiming and recycling the existing infill. The existing stone base was then laser graded. Keystone then installed Shaw Sports Turf’s top-tier Legion Pro dual fiber turf system for the field.

FAQs
What signs suggest a turf field may need replacement? Worn fibers, shedding, seam separation, and deteriorating markings can indicate that a field needs evaluation. The condition of the field helps determine whether repairs or replacement are appropriate.
How is a turf field planned for multiple sports? The intended sports guide the choice of turf system and the arrangement of markings. Layouts and graphics can be coordinated to support the facility’s planned uses.
