During the month of January 2014, project partners Alex Johnston and Connor Huff have documented the recent history (1970 – present day) of tennis at Middlebury College. The college athletics facility is currently undergoing a major transformation with the construction of the new field house which is scheduled to be completed in late 2014. A 60-foot wall consisting of images, texts, video and other forms of interactive media covering the history of athletics at Middlebury will accompany the state of the art indoor track and viewing area creating a unique experience for all visitors.
