HOME Continued from Page 1 three-story dormitory plan in- cludes enough space for 90 un- dergraduates in addition to the daycare facility. “It’s a very exciting time in our history,” said Krzywicki. Athletic facilities facelift The new dorm will force the university to relocate the base- ball field, but that was part of the master plan developed in 1996. “This upcoming baseball season will be the last on that field,” said Krzywicki. He said the plan involves three layers of design, with the academic buildings at the cen- ter of campus surrounded by dormitory buildings. The third layer includes the recreation fields, which MacDowell said adds to the beauty and open- ness of the campus. Krzywicki said the universi- ty’s recent announcement of adding a Division III football team to its athletics roster is one of the driving forces be- hind the need for more student space. MacDowell said studies have shown the acquisition of a football team can bring in be- tween 100 and 110 new stu- dents. Krzywicki said the baseball field will be relocated near Mangelsdorf Field which was built after a 2002 purchase of 24 acres of land adjacent to the campus. There is still unclear- ed land in the area. In addition, the school will build a fieldhouse to be used by all sports teams, and the soccer field across from the townhouses will receive artifi- cial turf so that more athletic teams can use the space. “We just need more athletic facilities, more playing fields, more practice fields,” he said. “And with all the activity, the natural grass just won’t hold up to it.” The fieldhouse will be locat- ed between Mangelsdorf Field and the new baseball field and will feature locker rooms for athletes and public restrooms for spectators. The building will be utilized by students in- volved in field hockey, foot- ball, baseball, men’s and wom- en’s soccer and men’s and women’s lacrosse teams. Working with the community MacDowell said none of the campus changes would be pos- sible without cooperation from community leaders in Dallas borough and township. Dallas Township Supervisor Glenn Howell said the univer- sity updates the township on its plans, and he said the work- ing partnership they've had with Misericordia University has always been pleasant. Dallas Borough Mayor Tim- othy Carroll believes the uni- versity has been helpful to the community at large. “Well, we don’t have any empty buildings in Dallas Bor- ough,” said Carroll. “The Commonwealth building could have been empty for years.” Carroll added Misericordia University brings people to the downtown area, which could help stimulate local economy and further promote the bor- ough’s master downtown plan. “We’re happy to accept the university and turn Dallas Bor- ough into a college town,” said Carroll.
