Established in 1965, with vibrant campuses in Vancouver, Burnaby and Surrey, SFU has become Canada's leading comprehensive university. With more than 30,000 students, 6,500 faculty and staff, and 130,000 alumni, SFU has matured into one of the world’s leading teaching and research universities, consistently ranked among Canada’s top comprehensive universities.Terry Fox Field and Field #4 at the Burnaby Campus are used by a plethora of user groups including Athletics & Recreation for varsity games and practices, SFU Recreation programming, student clubs and both internal and external community events. The fields, roughly 180,000 square feet combined is the largest open outdoor space for activities on campus.The replacement of the two synthetic turf fields due to their age and near failure of safety/condition assessments is being proposed. The current fields have reached the end of their lifecycle, and their deteriorating condition poses safety risks to users. By replacing these fields, we will ensure the provision of a safe and high-quality playing surface, benefiting athletics, sports organizations, and the community at large. The two synthetic turf fields in question were installed over a decade ago (Terry Fox Field = 2011; Field#4 = 2004) and their condition has significantly deteriorated over time. Continuous use, exposure to harsh weather conditions, and reoccurring snow removal have led to issues such as excessive wear, uneven surface, infill displacement, and reduced shock absorption. The project deliverables include the provision of all labour, material, equipment, transportation and other services related to the removal and replacement of artificial turf at Terry Fox Field and Field 4.
