MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – Middle Tennessee State University will build a $4.8 million tennis outdoor campus complex to replace the 40-year-old courts that were greatly impacted by improvements to Middle Tennessee Boulevard.
The project, funded by gifts from former players, the local tennis community and funds set aside from the Middle Tennessee Boulevard road improvement project, should be ready by 2023. The Tennessee State Building Commission approved the project earlier this month and an architectural designer will be announced for the job on Aug. 23.
"We appreciate our players and supporters stepping forward to create a true competitive advantage for our tennis teams and further enhance our campus," said MTSU President Sidney A.
