BETHLEHEM, Pa. --- Moravian College began work Monday on renovating the HUB Quad grass field into John Makuvek Field, a synthetic turf field that will be home to the Greyhounds' field hockey, men's and women's lacrosse and men's and women's soccer teams beginning later this fall.

In addition to switching the playing surface, Moravian will be adding competition lighting to the field along with a press box.

Most recently, the field has been home to Moravian's men's and women's soccer teams but the Quad has also seen the women's lacrosse, baseball and football teams play contests over the years.

The project is slated to be completed by August 10 so the playing surface is ready for both of the Greyhounds' soccer teams and the field hockey squad to begin preseason practice on August 18. The first event is scheduled for Thursday, September 1 when the women's soccer team hosts Arcadia University at 7:00 p.m.
