Kansas City Current Training Facility

Riverside, MO


The Kansas City Current National Women’s Soccer League Training Facility is said to be the first center built exclusively for a woman's professional sports soccer team. Designers chose mass timber, leaving the glulam and CLT exposed to create a distinctive world-class complex that signals the Current’s desire to compete at the highest level. The building houses all of the organization’s operations under one roof, providing a variety of spaces designed for work, wellness, culture and socializing. In addition to a locker room, weight and cardio rooms, and offices, it includes a film room, café, nutrition and wellness area, and rooftop deck overlooking three full-size soccer pitches. The use of mass timber also helped expedite construction. It took Monarch Build, a female-owned construction firm, less than two months from timber delivery to complete vertical structure.
