Facilities
Nestled
among 1,400 acres of rolling hills, Cal Poly Pomona is the
second largest campus of the 23 California State University
campuses. At the hub of Southern California activities, the
university is just an hour's drive from ski areas to the north,
deserts to the east, beaches to the south and downtown Los
Angeles to the west.
Recently,
the Department of Athletics has undergone some capital facility
improvements. The men's and women's track & field programs
will benefit from the renovation of Kellogg Field during the
summer of 2001. The facility will upgrade the track surface,
in addition to adding new runways and pits for the high jump,
pole vault and long/triple jump areas. A new site for the
weight events (shot put, hammer) will also be part of the
project. In 2002, Cal Poly Pomona will host it's first collegiate
track meet since the 1994-95 school year. Benefiting from
the upgrade will be men's and women's soccer who also compete
at the 2,500-seat Kellogg Field.
For men's
and women's tennis, the Cal Poly Pomona tennis courts are
under going renovation. In the summer of 2001, the 10 on-campus
courts will be resurfaced and lights will be added to the
facility for night play. The women's volleyball program enjoys
their high-energy matches in Darlene May Gymnasium. This summer
(2001), Darlene May Gym will be furnished with a new floor.
In the past year, Scolinos Field, home to Bronco baseball,
has improved its field and facility conditions (fence, grass,
hitter's screen). The Bronco men's and women's basketball
teams compete in the 5,000 seat Kellogg Gymnasium, which received
a new sound system in February 2001. The men's and women's
cross country teams compete on the picturesque campus of Cal
Poly Pomona as well as the beautiful lakeside of Prado Park
in Chino, California.
The Butler
Building located at Kellogg Field is getting a make over too.
The Butler Building is the weight/conditioning center for
Cal Poly Pomona student-athletes. The free weight facility
will be available for all Cal Poly Pomona students for the
first-time ever in the Fall of 2001.
