PHILADELPHIA – Temple Vice President and Debbie and Stanley Lefkowitz '65 Director of Athletics Arthur Johnson announced today the construction of a new 52,000 square foot on-campus tennis complex to serve as the new home for the Owls' men's and women's tennis programs.

"This new tennis complex will provide our student-athletes with a top-notch facility to showcase their talents while preparing to compete at a high level," said Johnson. "The facility will also include bleacher seating and the technology required to video stream our matches on ESPN+, so fans around the world can watch Temple Tennis."

"Having a facility of this scope on campus will truly elevate our programs, not only competitively but in our ability to recruit high level student-athletes," said Temple men's and women's tennis coach Steve Mauro. "It will also be exciting to have a seating area for fans to watch our young men and women perform."

Construction for the new tennis complex is set to begin in May on the south end of Geasey Field. The project is expected to be completed for the start of the 2024-25 men's and women's tennis season.

The facility, being constructed by the Flatiron Building Company, will feature seven tennis courts with bleacher seating for fans to watch the teams perform. It will also feature lighting to allow for more accessibility to academic classes and the general student population.
