A closer look at Burnham Field shows that it really involves two independent parts:

1. Burnham Field (plan), with a grandstand and earth berms around it for seating (not shown in the pre-design concept).
   The architects, Freeman French Freeman, renovated the 1920s baseball and soccer grandstand at UVM’s Centennial Field.

2. A Fieldhouse (plan; west elevation, with Scully-Fahey grandstand in background; aerial perspective from northwest above the soccer field). The Fieldhouse will present its higher principal facade, toward the Blackman Fields — not toward either nearby grandstand. This facade situates the entrances to the building’s two locker rooms beneath a porch or an awning.
