In renderings released by GatorZone on Wednesday, Florida's new indoor practice facility looks, well, new.
The project, set to be handled by Birmingham-based Davis Architects — the same firm responsible for Florida's gorgeous gymnastics practice studio, and tasked with the renovation of the O'Connell Center — is depicted in three renderings produced by the firm and released by the University Athletic Association. And looks basically like what I'd expect a full-field indoor practice facility built under Jeremy Foley to look like: New, clean, and useful, rather than festooned with bells and whistles.
The facility, which is set to be constructed on the eastern segment of the Sanders Practice Fields, looks a lot like a field house, and will no doubt match the white-and-blue color schemes of the nearby O'Dome and McKethan Stadium, rather than getting gussied up in a stranger way.
There are no waterfalls here, in other words: It's just a field meant for football players to practice on, and it will assuredly get significant use come September, when it is projected to be completed.
