Newfield has provided construction services
to Trinity College for the past 10 years. Newfield completed
a life safety and full fire protection upgrade to all of Trinity’s residence
halls. Highly phased and difficult to stage due to a tight
urban setting, this project was expedited for completion during
summer and winter breaks. Other projects that Newfield has
completed for Trinity includes chemistry and biology laboratories
and summer maintenance work. Safety concerns, security issues,
M/WBE participation, accommodating the needs of faculty, staff
and facility management and phasing have all been a part of
Newfield’s Trinity experience.
Trinity is one of the premier colleges for squash play internationally.
In 2002, both the girls and boys teams won the NCAA squash
titles. Housed in a 1930’s facility with restrictive
site access, Newfield Construction worked to develop two international
championship level squash courts. The courts utilized a three-
walled specially designed glass from Germany that required
extensive field dimensioning due to restricted site space and
a significant amount of overseas coordination. Wooden viewing
stands and an open viewing mezzanine were included as part
of this project as were renovated athletic director office
spaces.
