The Need
The Duncan Athletic Building is located adjacent to other student athlete facilities including sports medicine, strength and conditioning, and academic support. It currently serves the needs of multiple sports as well as athletic administration. As part of the of the larger master plan development, most sports will move to new home facilities allowing the existing building to be renovated to primarily serve football
The Project
While preserving the building shell, a thorough renovation to the interior spaces delivers adequate are to create appropriately sized home football facilities. this includes a new locker room with dedicated hydrotherapy as well as individual position meeting rooms.
A new multi-use event space with support kitchen accommodates the team training table and converts to a club amenity space that is available for year round events.
The Site
West Front Door: Today the primary entry to the Duncan building is on the east side of the building - but with the new Duncan addition the primary entry and front door of the Duncan building is on the west side - facing the south gateway stadium entry and the parking lot. This new west entry west aligns with this south gateway plaza creating a horizontal connection between the stadium and the facility.
Training Table and Secure North Plaza: The Duncan addition will be added to the north end of the existing facility, and the hall of fame lobby will be the dividing space between the old and new. The new addition will house the multi-use training table and flex plaza space. The outdoor space north of the training table will transition from club environment to an outdoor plaza and multi-use event space for all athletic teams.
