A committee of the University of Pittsburgh’s board of trustees on Friday approved spending $17.7 million on two projects, one of which will be an air-supported, domed field for the Panthers’ lacrosse and soccer teams.
The $13.2 million facility, to be built in the Trees Field Complex along Robinson Street Extension in Oakland, will enable athletes to play regardless of weather conditions, committee chair John Pelusi told the trustees at their board meeting. There also will be two intramural fields.
The other project is a $4.5 million renovation on the fifth floor of Scaife Hall’s west wing, creating state-of-the-art office space in the School of Medicine.
The construction is expected to create more than 130 jobs and generate more than $35,000 a year in local property taxes, Mr. Pelusi said.
