Ellington Racquet Club
The Rundown
The Ellington Racquet Club is a 44,880 sq ft indoor sports facility designed and installed by Legacy crews. Built with gray primed rigid steel frames and clad in tan and blue 28 oz. ExxoTec™ Elite fabric, the structure combines strength and aesthetics, while a white 19 oz. ExxoTec™ Pro liner brightens the interior. Engineered for 120 mph wind loads, 35 lb ground snow loads, and seismic category B, the building also includes gutters, downspouts, 33 ARV-2000 roof vents, and 18-in mesh soffit eaves for reliable water mitigation and passive ventilation.
Inside, the facility offers R-30 insulation, a spacious reception and viewing area, locker rooms, and eight indoor courts—four tennis and four pickleball. Two overhead coil doors, five walk doors, and a non-traditional MEP system supported by fans and a dedicated ventilation system ensure accessibility and comfort.

Testimonials
It was a breath of fresh air.
No one was really expecting your guys to install it as fast as they did. Once we got to that point where it was time to put the steel up and putting the fabric up…it was a breath of fresh air.
The building provides a unique environment for attending a concert.
And the sound quality inside is amazing. It's a terrific venue.
The building allowed us to get everything we wanted for the price we could afford.
We are really happy with everything it’s provided for our community, including the lifestyle changes. We attracted 30 new kids to our school, which is really big for our town. And we feel that building is one of the main reasons for it. The building allowed us to get everything we wanted for the price we could afford.
