   1. Thomas B. Poole '61 and Family Sports Dome

      Construction of the $3.5 million state-of-the-art Stiles Field at the Thomas B. Poole '61 and Family Sports Dome was completed in 2019. Hobart and William Smith Trustee and Hobart Hall of Famer Thomas B. Poole '61, L.H.D. '06 and his wife, Mary Jane Poole P'91, were instrumental in making the new facility a reality through a $1 million lead gift for the fundraising campaign.
      
      The nearly 86,000-square-foot FieldTurf surface is lined for all of the Colleges' varsity field teams, field hockey, football, lacrosse and soccer.
      
      The Thomas B. Poole '61 and Family Sports Dome benefits the entire campus community, freeing up the main floor of Bristol Field House for varsity tennis, recreation and intramural sports. Before the dome opened, varsity teams practiced in the field house from late afternoon until well into the evening, forcing intramural contests to start late into the night.
       
      The dome is also available to HWS club and intramural sports as well as other campus groups.
