The baseball facility is right on the edge of campus and is all turf with clubhouse and locker room over looking the field behind center field. Their indoor facility (Helwig Athletic Center) has everything needed to continue to get better through the cold winter months of Chicago. Huge facility to throw in, take ground balls, hit and team defense. The facility also has the weight room, training room as well as anything else that a student-athlete needs to continue their development.
