It is now under construction at Harlan and Hazel Rogers Sports Complex, where the main baseball diamond is now the home diamond for the Tritons.

“It’s going to be first class,” said Kevin Twait, the college’s athletic director.

The clubhouse will be owned and paid for by the college. It is being constructed in the city-owned sports complex under an agreement between the city government and the college. The City Council unanimously approved the agreement Monday night.That agreement gives the college permission to build on city property and specifies that the clubhouse is to be fully funded, owned and operated by the college.

The clubhouse will be on the west side of the baseball diamond.

Crews from Jensen Builders Ltd., of Fort Dodge, are now doing the foundation work. Students from the college’s construction trades classes will work on the building.

Twait said it is expected to be done in the second week of May.

He said the building will include 35 to 40 “really nice collegiate lockers.” He said it will also have a laundry room, offices for coaches, an area to be used by umpires and a lunch room.

The umpires area will be made available to officials during the annual girls state softball tournament played at the sports complex, according to Twait.

This year’s spring season will be the first one for the Tritons at the sports complex. They formerly played at Ed Barbour Field on the Fort Dodge campus, but moved from there because of drainage issues.
