The Chewning Tennis Center
A two-phase project to create a new home for Carolina Tennis
The new Chewning Tennis Center will create an environment which maximizes the potential for student-athlete success and recruiting by including championship courts, seating and amenities that reflect the University’s status as a leader in collegiate tennis. The facility will be a venue that is sought after by players, spectators, the ACC and the NCAA for hosting competition and events.
The Chewning Tennis Center project is a multi-stage effort. The initial phases provide state-of-the-art competition courts for outdoor and indoor play as well as spectator seating and amenities. Future phases will include a team building and other support facilities.
Phase 1 includes:
- 12 competition and practice courts
- Championship court lighting
- Ample storage space for both varsity programs
- Modern scoring, PA, live streaming and other technology capabilities
- New fan amenities: seating, concessions, restrooms, awnings for shade
Phase 1 Expansion includes:
- Foundation and roof repairs of existing indoor facility
- New LED lights, scoreboard, topcoat acrylics, paint and graphics for indoor courts
- Cone-Kenfield Indoor entry, lobby and mezzannine enhancements
- New carpet and flooring
- Spectator railing enhancements
