The Need
The Duncan Athletic Building is located adjacent to other student-athlete facilities including the Meyers Sports Medicine building and the Ricchiuti Strength & Conditioning and Academic Center. It currently serves the needs of multiple sports as well as athletic administration. As part of the larger master plan, 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 of the interior spaces will provide more adequate facilities for the football team. These upgrades include a new locker room with dedicated hydrotherapy as well as individual position meeting rooms.
A new multi-use event space with a support kitchen that will serve as a team training table and convert to a club amenity space available for year-round events.
The Site
West Front Door - The primary entry to the Duncan building will move from the east side of the building to the west and will face the south plaza entrance to the stadium.
Training Table and North Plaza - The Duncan addition will be located on the north end of the existing facility with the hall of fame lobby dividing the two spaces. This new addition will house the multi-use training table and a new plaza area. The plaza will serve as a multi-use event space for all athletic teams and will transition to a club environment on game day and for other events.
