Athlete support spaces include dining rooms, lounges, locker rooms, sports medicine, therapy spaces, fitness rooms, and warm-up functions. The expanded programming also includes wellness spaces like quiet rooms, sleep rooms, and meditation spaces to help support the athletes’ mental health.
In addition to performance-focused spaces, the building is designed to better accommodate the requirements of modern media coverage through the creation of additional media interview rooms, green screen rooms, and other television spaces for members of the domestic and international media. A variety of admin spaces are included in the design as well.

Stitched into a complex athletic campus plan with various transportation and security considerations, we created a distinct architectural identity, rooted in materiality context but also leveraged to disguise and privatize athlete spaces in a busy public campus. Though internally focused, the design features improved access to daylight and views, while also protecting athletes from the elements.
“The science of athletic performance has grown tremendously, and accordingly sports and competition has intensified. Modern athletes require physical, mental, and emotional preparation, but also recovery, rehabilitation, and socialization to maximize and maintain peak human performance. The opportunity to design this facility was an exciting exploration into developing intentional and human centered spaces to support athlete well-being for competitors at the highest level of their respective sport.”
