Residents driving by the Jim Mize Track and Field Complex will start to see some perimeter work done on the Louisiana Tech facility in the coming weeks and months.
A wrought-iron fence and gated entry will be constructed at the facility, which houses the Louisiana Tech men’s and women’s track and field programs and also serves as a practice facility for the Bulldog football program.
The project, which begins Friday and should be completed by the start of March, is completely funded through private donations with no state or university funds used.
The project includes a wrought-iron fence that runs the entire perimeter of all four sides of the track and field complex. In addition brick columns will be constructed along Tech Drive, West Alabama Avenue and Stadium Drive.
There will be new signage for the facility at the main entrance on the north side of the facility along Stadium Drive and additional signage on the corner of Tech Drive and West Alabama Avenue.
Once the project is completed, public hours will be posted at the facility.
