Organization Overview

Replacing outdated facilities previously spread across a hilly campus, this
new building co-locates kinesiology, athletics and dance programs into a
venue for academic movement studies and public recreational use. The
highly visible gateway structure's iconic, ridgeline-inspired canopy
minimizes solar gain. Rooftop activation offers efficiencies in
programming/cost; public memberships generate revenue.
