I can’t explain how impressed I am with the facility Kansas City has…I look back to the

beginning of the NWSL and it couldn’t be more different.

As the first-ever team office and training complex built specifically for a U.S. women’s professional sports organization, the Kansas City Current’s home digs is setting the precedent for the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL). And just like any Teal Rising victory, making this historic facility a reality took a collaborative team effort.

Monarch Build constructed the riverfront complex in partnership with Generator Studio, creating a space full of world-class amenities that empower the team to train, recover, strategize and connect – all on their own turf.

Brand strategist and designer, Willoughby Design, turned to Dimensional Innovations to help bring the space to life through branded design and ‘wow’ elements throughout the interior and exterior of the complex.

 

Our team weaved the essence of the KC Current into the complex, creating a sleek, purpose-driven home to inspire the team, staff, and aspiring young female athletes.

From entry to exit, the all-encompassing space is chock-full of teal and heartland red, with custom designs rippling Current pride around every corner. The facility also includes a state-of-the-art locker room where Dimensional Innovations fabricated and installed a massive crest that brightly shines above.

Full grass fields and a FIFA-grade turf pitch

 

The prestigious training facility is a fierce, industry-leading, game-winning initiative that empowers the KC Current to train like pros on an off the pitch.

As the organization continues to pave the way for the future of NWSL and women’s professional sports, Dimensional Innovations is honored to play our part – as fans, fellow Kansas Citians, and in this case, experts in design fabrication.
