NORCROSS, Ga. | Greater Atlanta Christian School (GAC) officially broke ground on its new Athletic Field House recently, marking a significant new construction project for student athletes joining the existing Hoover Field House, Naik Athletic Complex, and the Darius Slayton Performance Center.
The Athletic Field House is a two-story brick facility totaling 13,642 square feet. With an investment of $4.1 million, the building intentionally brings together team spaces, training areas, and game-day operations in one centralized location while aligning with the architectural character of GAC’s campus.
The new field house was made possible through the $33M Light the Way Campaign, a multi-year capital campaign, and will be the new home for GAC Baseball, Softball, Tennis, Soccer, and Flag Football teams.
The new Athletic Field House will include:
- Dedicated locker rooms for soccer, baseball, softball, tennis, and girls flag football teams;
- A centralized meeting room, training room, and coaches’ offices in close proximity to athletic venues;
- Enhanced facilities to support student-athletes and elevate game-day operations, including concession;
- New indoor batting and pitching cages; and
- A safe, indoor shelter for players and spectators during inclement weather.
Construction on the Athletic Field House is expected to be completed by January 2027, further advancing GAC’s commitment to providing exceptional facilities that support the development of the whole student through social, emotional, physical, and spiritual growth.
In addition to the Athletic Field House, the Light the Way Campaign will continue to expand and enhance GAC Athletics through future facility projects, including the construction of a 50-meter outdoor swimming pool and new tennis courts. Together, these initiatives reflect GAC’s long-term commitment to providing championship-level resources that support student-athlete development, community engagement, and excellence across all athletic programs.
