Description

An 84,000 sf practice facility and 96,000 sf performance facility featuring a 120-yard all-weather football field equipped for multiple sports with direct access to the weight room, training room, and performance nutrition stations. The west portion houses the Athlete Performance Center, including strength and conditioning areas, locker rooms, physical therapy, offices, and team meeting spaces to support football operations. Additional amenities include a dining hall, remote-operated camera system, scoreboard, advanced sound system, built-in Catapult technology, and hydrotherapy pools.

Features

  • This project was located on an active campus and busy road, creating the need for extensive site planning and communication with owners to create a safe, non-disruptive environment for students.
  • Given the building’s proximity to the baseball field, Messer had to strategically schedule construction around their schedule to create a safe working environment.
  • Collaborating with two architecture firms fostered a dynamic design process that required adaptability, clear communication, and a strong commitment to aligning diverse creative visions for a cohesive project outcome.
