Middlebury Women's Lacrosse
Facilities & Directions
Virtue Field House
Middlebury’s newest athletic facility, Virtue Field House, opened in January of 2015.
The 110,000-square-foot structure houses the New Balance Foundation Track, a 200-meter track with nine 60-meter sprint lanes. Dedicated jumping, vaulting and throwing areas beyond the oval for field events are also part of the facility, as is McCormick Field, a 21,000-square-foot Field Turf surface inside the track for varsity, club, intramural and recreational purposes. The field house will enable Middlebury to host regional and NCAA Championship meets for the first time in school history.
The facility also features a cardio balcony with over 30 pieces of exercise equipment. Locker rooms, multiple batting cages and a multipurpose/fitness area are also a part of the building as well as a coaching suite.
The massive field house, with more indoor area than a football field, also has numerous sustainability features including: eight 24-foot-wide ceiling fans to circulate air, LED lighting, recycled material in the flooring, super insulated walls and ceiling, abundant amounts of natural light and numerous spaces designed for multiple uses. Middlebury plans to seek an LEED Gold designation for the project from the U.S. Green Building Council.
The field house and squash center (which opened in October 2013) were fully funded by gifts from alumni, parents and other donors.
Kohn Field
Kohn Field is a state-of-the art field hockey and lacrosse facility that opened in the spring of 2000. The field was named in honor of the late Peter Kohn, a friend of Middlebury College since he arrived on campus in 1980.
The 240' by 360' all-weather surface affords teams use of an outdoor facility during inclement weather and during the early spring when the ground may be snow covered. The field was fully renovated in the summer of 2011 with a brand-new padded surface. Lights were also added to the facility, allowing for less missed class time with evening practices and the occasional night game. Also added was a state-of-the-art watering system, creating the optimal conditions for field hockey games.
