ITHACA, NY (CortacaToday) — A proposed sports facility at Cornell has cleared another hurdle.

On Tuesday, the Town of Ithaca’s Planning Board gave its approval for the Meinig Fieldhouse. The 90-thousand-square-foot facility would come with outdoor practice areas.

Architect Kim Michaels said the site would have plenty of plants.

“There’s a variety of shrub material and ground cover proposed in the project,” she said. “The thought process here is to provide seasonal interest.”

In September, the City of Ithaca’s Planning & Development Board OK’d the project. The town’s Zoning Board of Appeals meets next week to consider further approval.
