Step onto the court. Feel the smooth surface beneath your feet. This is the Naimoli Family Athletic and Recreational Facility. Home to NJIT’s men’s and women’s tennis teams this impressive facility opened in 2011. It’s more than just a tennis center though. It’s a hub of activity for the entire university.
This 25000-square-foot facility isn’t just for elite athletes. It serves as a vibrant space for intramural sports and recreational activities. Students can enjoy a wide variety of indoor sports here. The air-conditioned environment makes it comfortable year-round. Imagine the energy of an intramural basketball game or the focused intensity of a tennis practice.
The Naimoli Facility is a testament to NJIT’s commitment to student wellness and athletic excellence. It features Musco’s Lighting Solution System. This cutting-edge system isn’t just about bright lights. It uses LED technology. This reduces energy consumption by a remarkable 57 percent compared to older lighting. The advanced optics provide pinpoint precision. This minimizes glare for optimal visibility for players and spectators alike. The system even offers dimming controls allowing for energy savings when full power isn’t required.
Beyond the energy efficiency the lighting system ensures high-quality streaming. NJIT tennis matches are streamed live online. These matches are then analyzed by the coaching staff. This allows for detailed feedback and strategic improvements. The system’s ease of use makes scheduling simple. It’s managed through web-based software a 24/7 call center and a mobile app.
Assistant Vice President/Director of Athletics Lenny Kaplan highlighted the facility’s significance. He noted that upgrading facilities is an ongoing process. The improved lighting is the first step in enhancing this valuable asset for NJIT student-athletes. The Naimoli Family Athletic and Recreational Facility stands as a symbol of athletic achievement and student well-being a place where competition and recreation thrive side by side.
