About the Facility

Located just northwest of College Park and Bearcat Stadium on the Northwest campus, the Carl & Cheryl Hughes Fieldhouse, a $21 million facility, serves a multitude of social, recreational and economic needs for the University and region.

The Hughes Fieldhouse stands as the single largest public-private partnership in Northwest's history and one of the largest such projects in the region ever. Staying true to Northwest's history of sustainability and energy management, Leadership in Energy and Environment Design (LEED) certification is a goal of the facility, which has been designed and constructed according to modern sustainability standards.

The Hughes Fieldhouse features

• 137,250 square-foot recreation and multipurpose facility featuring recreation and exhibition space,
• indoor flooring system,
• 90-yard practice turf,
• 300-meter indoor competition track,
• spectator seating and
• tiered meeting rooms.

The facility was named after the Carl and Cheryl Hughes family, who committed a significant gift to the project through the Hughes Family Foundation.
