Leftwich Tennis Center

Two-Building Indoor Tennis Center

The nearly 50-year-old Leftwich Tennis Center was transformed into an impressive, newly built, NCAA-rated tennis facility. The center is the largest of its kind within hundreds of miles and worthy of attracting national tennis tournaments.

The project required marrying two independent pre-engineered, indoor tennis buildings with a central conventional structural steel frame flat roofed connection building. There were considerable challenges to creating the appropriate joint design, but Kirby’s pre-engineered buildings were the ideal solution.

Aside from functionality, the Leftwich Tennis Center was designed using a combination of elements to enhance its appearance. R-Panel walls in a special tri-color arrangement match the surrounding landscape and courts to provide a cohesive look and Kirby’s Loc Seam 360 roof
system encloses each building addition.
