Brandon High School was an outdated rural facility in need of significant improvement. To supplement a successful athletic program, a significant portion of the facility renovations focused on the outdoor play fields.
The new activities complex includes a stadium with bleacher seating for 4,000 people, a press box, concession stand, ticket booth, restroom building, artificial-turf football field, synthetic running track, long-jump pit, high-jump area, pole-vault pad and shot-put field. The stadium also includes a new 2,800-square-foot locker room. A stunning iron gate, painted in Brandon Eagle Blue, ushers spectators into this expansive space.
Interior renovations to the athletic facility include a 9,000-square-foot gymnasium addition with space for basketball, volleyball, wrestling and spectator bleachers. A 4,000-square-foot renovation to the existing weightroom also was completed during the interior renovations phase.
