The university will begin work on its new outdoor athletic field complex this summer. The 23.8-acre site, located a half-mile from the Newberg campus on the corner of Crestview Drive and Villa Road, was given to George Fox by Ken and Joan Austin. The complex will include practice and game facilities for men’s and women’s soccer, baseball, and softball.
Road work was scheduled to begin in July, and site grading will take place late this fall. Tentative plans call for some or all of the individual venues to be built-out in the summer of 2008. The estimated cost for the Austin Athletic Field Complex is $9.5 million, depending on the final configuration of the fields. The cost does not include the gift of land, estimated at more than $7 million.

To the George Fox Community,
Approximately one month ago, there were several thefts of university-owned property on the east side of campus. Then last night, there was a burglary of student-owned property, again on the east side of campus. We encourage all employees and students to help keep GFU a safe environment by doing the following:
1.Be sure to secure all personal belongings at all times.
2.Keep your car doors locked with no personal belongings in plain sight.
3.Keep exterior residence doors locked at all times, including when you’re present.
4.If you unlock a door to gain entry to any building, make sure the door closes behind you and is locked to prevent others from unauthorized entry.
5.Report any suspicious person(s) to Security Services immediately at ext. 2090.
We are investigating these incidents and taking steps to attempt to prevent further losses. Thanks you for your assistance.
Blessings,
Ed Gierok
George Fox University
Director of Security Services
