Bowman was the civil engineer for this transformative project, converting a 28-acre portion of Sycuan tribal land and portions of the Pine Glen Golf Course and Singing Hills Hotel into the Sharp Healthcare Performance Center and Right to Dream Academy, a state-of-the-art soccer and training campus. The site features a 125,000 sq. ft. campus, anchored by a 50,000 sq. ft. sports performance center other amenities. It serves both the San Diego FC (SDFC) first team and the Right to Dream residential youth academy, making SDFC the first Major League Soccer club to establish its training facility and academy on Native American land.
The project included five full-sized soccer fields: three natural turf and two synthetic turf fields. Bowman led the civil design for site grading, drainage and wet utility infrastructure, including water and fire protection loop coordination with the Otay Municipal Water District.
Additional responsibilities included stormwater management and BMP design to meet Tribal Environmental Impact Report (TEIR) requirements, as well as permitting support for two new site entrances and improvements along Willow Glen Road. Surveying services included an ALTA/NSPS land title survey, aerial topographic mapping and legal boundary documentation. The landscape architecture team provided planting, irrigation and hardscape design, while construction-phase support included submittal reviews, RFIs and site visits.
