Baldwin County School District officially broke ground on a new athletic complex at Oak Hill Middle School on June 2nd, marking an exciting milestone for student-athletes, families, and the Baldwin County community.

The project represents another step forward in the district’s continued commitment to investing in spaces where students can grow, compete, lead, and take pride in being Baldwin Braves. Once complete, the new complex will provide a safer, more welcoming, and more functional environment for athletes, coaches, families, fans, students, and visitors.

The new Oak Hill Middle School Athletic Complex will include a new press box, restroom, and concession facility, along with upgraded baseball and softball field infrastructure. The project also includes improved spectator seating and fan experience areas, new fencing and site enhancements, expanded parking, improved traffic flow, and stormwater management and erosion control upgrades.

For Oak Hill Middle School, the new complex is about more than game-day improvements. It is about creating a space that reflects the talent, dedication, and promise of Baldwin County students.

“This project represents our continued commitment to building a premier community of academics, arts, and athletics,” said Superintendent Dr. Kristina Brooks. “Our students deserve facilities that reflect their hard work, their talent, and the pride we have in them. The new Oak Hill Middle School Athletic Complex will not only support our student-athletes, but it will also create a better experience for families and community members who come together to celebrate and support our Braves.”

Baldwin County School District is partnering with the Georgia based division of Performance Services as the project’s design-builder to lead the design and construction of the new complex. Performance Services has served the learning environment needs of K-12 schools since 1998 and specializes in high-performance buildings that support strong learning and working environments.

The new complex is expected to enhance the overall game-day experience while also providing important infrastructure improvements that support the long-term safety, performance, and sustainability of the site.

Construction is scheduled to be completed in Fall 2026.
