On Sept. 29, 2007 the Old Dominion University men's and women's tennis programs moved into their new home, the $7 million Folkes-Stevens Indoor Tennis Center on the campus of ODU.
The 74,000 square foot state-of-the-art facility was designed by Rancorn Wildman Architects of Newport News. It has eight climate controlled indoor courts and 12 outdoor courts, making it more than suitable to host an NCAA Championship event. In addition, the tennis center also features two elevated mezzanines for spectators, a conference room, offices for the ODU tennis staff, locker rooms and private lounge areas for the Monarchs' men's and women's teams and a separate locker room area for member use. There is wireless computer connectivity and flat screen televisions throughout the facility displaying campus based programs, tennis center events and the Tennis Channel.
Built in large part thanks to a $1 million contribution from Grey Folkes and Ricky Stevens, the Folkes-Stevens Indoor Tennis Center will also be available for use by the ODU student body, faculty and staff, and the entire Hampton Roads community. Community members must purchase a membership to the facility and more information can be obtained by contacting Matt Halfpenny the facility coordinator for Folkes-Stevens Indoor Tennis Center at 757-645-8506.
