The Wellness Center re-envisions a building originally designed for athletic programs only into a wellness center for the entire campus population through an extensive renovation and addition of a new fitness center. The addition creates a new “front door” to campus that welcomes on-campus students and visitors from University Drive.
Cardiovascular, plate-loaded and free weight equip-ment enjoy a northeast-facing glass exterior that provides impressive views of campus and showcases the center’s activity to campus. High-performance glazing in combination with interior and exterior shading devices control solar heat gain and provide natural light while maintaining views to the exterior.
The two-story glass entry physically and visually integrates the renovated fitness center into the overall recreation center.
