Altru Sports Complex

On June 27th, 2025, the City of Grand Forks, Grand Forks Park District, and Altru Health Systems celebrated the groundbreaking of the new Altru Sports Complex, which was informed by a 2023 feasibility study. JLG is the project’s Architect-of-Record, working alongside McGough Construction, Construction Engineers, and BRS Architecture to deliver a year-round destination for indoor community recreation, with tournament play and on-site access to sports performance and training. Phase I, including 215,000 square feet, anticipates an October 2027 opening, while Phase II—adding 60,000 SF of basketball/volleyball courts and sports training—is scheduled for a spring 2028 completion. Altogether, the Complex will provide the region with a 50-meter indoor competition pool, a 25-yard instructional pool, full-size soccer and football turf, eight pickleball courts, an elevated walking/running track, and Altru sports performance and training spaces. The Complex will also be the primary practice and home competition venue for the Red River Valley Wahoos swimming team, providing a best-in-class aquatics center to support the program’s needs.
