The center as seen from behind Olin Hall and looking at the back of Alumni Gym and Harrington Auditorium. Not a finished design, this rendering suggests how a center, with the desired facilities, might appear at this location.
This plan combines Alumni Gym, Harrington Auditorium, and new construction (foreground) into one comprehensive facility and ties together the academic, recreational and residential facets of campus life.
Functional space projected:
- athletic facilities
new multi-purpose gymnasium, Olympic-sized swimming pool, fitness and aerobics centers, jogging track- campuswide services
post office, book store, convenience store- dining services
food court and pub-style restaurant- student organizations
office space for student publications and administration (e.g. Student Life, Student Activities)- multi-purpose rooms
flexible space for meetings, conferences, continuing education, student projects- athletic staff offices
director, recreation director, coaches and trainers
