Buys Athletics Complex on the Hope Campus Undergoes Renovation
HOLLAND – The Buys Athletics Complex on the campus of Hope College is undergoing a renovation. GMB Architects-Engineers is proud to be leading projects for both the softball and baseball fields. The projects will include fencing upgrades, the installation of permanent stands for fans, new press boxes and dugouts. Fans will have an unobstructed view of the playing fields. The softball seating will accommodate approximately 250 fans and baseball will have seating for about 300. Each area will have a patio suitable for tailgating.
The work is scheduled to be finished in time for the teams’ 2008 seasons. Hope College announced May 14, 2007 that the softball stadium has been named in honor of Karla Hoesch Wolters, longtime Hope softball coach, and her husband Tom. Both are graduates of the Hope College class of 1973. The baseball stadium has been named in honor of Ronald Boeve, Hope College class of 1953 and an assistant baseball coach for nearly a quarter of a century, and his wife Sonja (Sunny).
