About the Facility

Located just northwest of College Park and Bearcat Stadium on the Northwest campus, the Carl & Cheryl Hughes Fieldhouse will serve as a host site for a wide range of University and community activities. The project represents the single largest public-private partnership in Northwest’s 112-year history – and one of the largest public-private partnerships ever in the region.

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 Hughes Fieldhouse is an estimated $20 million project with multiple financing sources, including commitments from the University, private support and community support. The facility was named after the Carl and Cheryl Hughes family, who committed a significant gift to the project through the Hughes Family Foundation.
