HOUGHTON COLLEGE OPENS $23M KERR-PEGULA ATHLETIC COMPLEX

HOUGHTON, N.Y. — Houghton College has opened its new $23 million Kerr-Pegula Athletic Complex in Houghton. The project included the construction of a new baseball and softball stadium, resurfacing of Burke Field (a multi-sport competition field), and the construction of a 150,000-square-foot field house. The field house features an eight-lane 200-meter regulation size track; five tennis courts; cardio fitness center; weight lifting rom; MVP conference room; commercial kitchen and concessions; locker-room facilities; and office space. Additionally, the facility has the ability to host concerts and events with a maximum capacity of more than 6,000 people. The athletic complex was made possible, in part, by an initial $12 million gift given by Houghton alumna Kim and Terry Pegula, owners of the Buffalo Sabres and Rochester Americans.
