Little Rock Christian Academy Indoor Athletic Facility

The 57,791 SF Warrior Athletics facility was completed to expand Little Rock Christian’ Academy’s physical education programs and enhance the school’s ability to compete at a higher level in multiple sports. At its core is a full fifty-yard artificial turf field, utilized for football and soccer practices, spirit squads, and track activities. The indoor field also serves as a versatile space for physical education classes across elementary, middle, and junior high levels. Additionally, the facility’s batting cages provide shelter for the school’s baseball and softball programs during inclement weather.

The indoor practice facility features a therapeutic soaking tub, dressing rooms, a filming platform, and a retractable field goal net. It also houses the new Warrior Store, coaching staff offices, a training room, and a wrestling room. The school’s IT offices were relocated to this facility as well.

The project also included improvements to the south side of the campus, removing an existing ditch and reclaiming approximately two acres of valuable land for parking, erosion control, and improved accessibility. Enhanced landscaping, curbing, and lighting were incorporated to create a cohesive aesthetic with the more contemporary parts of campus.

“In my mind and from my experience, William Clark, Danny Bennett and Matt Morrow are the gold standard for K-12 school construction.”
