FLUSHING, N.Y.<\/strong> – The USTA announces that Princeton University was named the Featured Facility of the Year, the highest honor bestowed by the USTA on a tennis facility. Princeton was one of 45 winners of the USTA\u2019s annual Outstanding Facility Awards program, which recognizes excellence in the construction and\/or renovation of tennis facilities throughout the country. All 45 recipients were honored at an awards reception held at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York as part of the 2025 US Open.<\/p>\n Princeton unveiled its new Racquet and Recreation Fieldhouse in November 2024. The new 180,000 square-foot facility includes 18 total tennis courts (nine outdoor; nine indoor) and not only serves as the home of Princeton\u2019s varsity men\u2019s and women\u2019s tennis programs, but also is a hub of campus and community recreation. In addition to the 18 courts, which comprises the Si Qin Family Indoor Tennis Center and the Cordish Family Outdoor Tennis Center, the facility includes athletic performance and sports medicine facilities, a student-athlete lounge, team locker rooms and coaches\u2019 offices, as well as a recreational fitness center. Beyond the impact on the university community, the facility hosts a number of USTA events for both juniors and adults and Princeton\u2019s tennis coaches offer clinics and other community programming.<\/p>\n \u201cPrinceton University is a great example of the many ways investing in world-class tennis facilities can create long-lasting and meaningful impacts on a community,\u201d said Theodore Loehrke, Managing Director, Section Partnerships, USTA. \u201cFacilities like this one are integral in the USTA\u2019s mission of growing tennis to inspire healthier people and communities everywhere. We are proud to recognize all 45 of these facilities for their continuing efforts to enhance lives through the sport of tennis.\u201d<\/p>\n Facilities were judged on the following criteria: overall layout and adaptation to site; excellence of court surface and lights; ease of maintenance; accommodations for players, spectators and press\/officials; aesthetics; graphics (including the use of signs and landscaping); amenities such as casual seating for spectators, food services and social areas; and the facilities\u2019 participation in grassroots tennis programs.<\/p>\n Nominated facilities were voted on in the following categories: Public Courts that are either small tennis centers with 2-11 courts or large tennis centers with 12 or more courts; Private Facilities that offer both USTA and public programming designed to help grow tennis (small: 2-11 courts; large: 12 or more courts); and Educational Institutions such as colleges, universities, public and private grade schools, middle schools, or high schools. A new category, Innovation, was added this year to recognize facilities that have been particularly innovative when it comes to delivering tennis. All 2025 award winners will receive a wall plaque and an all-weather sign, which can be mounted at the facility.<\/p>\n The 2025 USTA Outstanding Facility Award winners are:<\/strong><\/p>\n Public Courts: Small Tennis Centers (2 to 11 courts) Public Courts: Large Tennis Centers (12 or more courts)<\/strong> Small Private Facilities (2-11 courts)<\/strong> Large Private Facilities (12 or more courts)<\/strong> Educational Institutions<\/strong> Innovative<\/strong> *2025 Featured Facility of the Year<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" FLUSHING, N.Y.<\/strong> – The USTA announces that Princeton University was named the Featured Facility of the Year, the highest honor bestowed by the USTA on a tennis facility.
