Arizona State University West | Student Recreation Center

Location: Glendale Arizona

Completion: 01/13

Size: 64,000 sf


The team's goals for the Arizona State University West Campus Sun Devil Fitness Complex included a design that respects the traditional brick campus context yet reflects the culture of tomorrow's students;  becomes the social anchor as the campus transitions from commuter focus to residential; defines the south edge of an emerging quad; reflects the sustainability goals of ASU; and attracts students into a program that will lead to an appreciation of life-long fitness skills. Integrated design concepts include:

  • Sustainable planning with building massing and orientation

  • Maximize north views framing the quad

  • Respect the campus typology of courtyard planning

  • Complement the existing brick campus and colonnade context at the base

  • Insert a ‘contemporary’ metal ‘iPod’ into the ‘contextual’ brick docking station base

  • Develop a user friendly interface of program elements as “Apps” on the north façade

  • Create a three story volume of activity and “fitness neighborhoods”

This project received LEED Gold certification.
