ADRIAN, Mich. -- The construction of a new outdoor tennis facility is underway at Adrian College.

The College broke ground last week on a new 12-court outdoor tennis facility, located northwest of the Performance Stadium and south of the new track & field complex. The project includes six batteries of two USTA-approved courts each.

Slusarski Excavating of Adrian is currently working to level the ground and install stone and drainage, starting with the two north courts. They have stripped the soil and are working in the clay sub-grade, with an emphasis on maintaining the proper grade and tolerance for the courts.

Following the completion of the work by Slusarski, Tecumseh Fence will install the facility’s fencing and main poles for the net systems. Then, Tennis Courts Unlimited of Watervliet will finish the courts by coating the courts and painting the playing surface.

According to Slusarski, the excavating and asphalt project is on schedule for the September 1 completion date. The entire project is planned to be finished by the end of September.
