Athletics and Events Center

Anchoring the eastern edge of a small campus, this 179,000 sq. ft. multipurpose facility works with the existing hillside topography and creates a visual termination for a major pedestrian walkway. The large mass is set into the ground to reduce the project scale and accentuate the tower—now an iconic element for the college. Tucking the building into the hillside minimized impact on nearby wetlands, woods and residential neighbors.
