Just days after announcing their newly-signed designated player Dante Venzir, word comes that the soon-to-be-constructed new Traning Complex has reached its next hurdle by choosing Gensler as the lead architectural designer for the facility.

The team announced today that Gensler, a global architecture, design, and planning firm, would serve as the lead architectural designer for its Training Complex in Morris Township, NJ. They will guide all architectural and design planning for the future state-of-the-art facility.

"Gensler will provide world-class architectural planning expertise as we partner to build the premier training complex in all of Major League Soccer," said Marc de Grandpré, General Manager, of New York Red Bulls. "Our shared vision for this facility is something that our entire organization, along with the Morris Township community, will be extremely proud of for many years to come."

“We are honored to partner with the New York Red Bulls to create their new home, which will bring their professional team, academy, and youth development programs together in one location,” said Jonathan Emmett, Principal and Design Director, Gensler. “The core design concept for the training complex focuses on the performance, health, and wellbeing of the athletes, coaches, and staff.”

The Complex will be located on the former Honeywell site off of Columbia Road, within one mile of the Route 24 interchange with County Road 510. The 80 acres

of land being developed will feature eight soccer pitches. Along with the First Team and Red Bulls II, the Complex will also be home to the New York Red Bulls Academy and Youth Training programs, North America’s leading youth soccer development system.
