The master plan outlines plans to upgrade the Woodward Center to better support athletics by dedicating it fully to athletic uses, adding air conditioning to the field house to enable year‑round usage and revenue‑generating summer events, and constructing an additional turf practice field. The need is underscored by a space utilization study showing Westfield’s athletic and fitness space per student well below peer averages. These changes are framed as necessary to support growing athletic programs, improve student wellness facilities, and enhance campus attractiveness.No design or construction teams are identified yet, making this a forthcoming opportunity for sports facility architects, MEP engineers, and field/turf contractors to engage around programming, phasing, and cost options.

The plan notes that moving academic programs out of Woodward will allow it to be fully dedicated to athletics; additional parking is also planned with the new turf practice field.
