EDUCATION DESIGN SHOWCASE • COLLEGES & UNIVERSITIES
HONORABLE MENTION
ATHLETICS SOUTH CAMPUS PERFORMANCE CENTER UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN
ANN ARBOR, MI
THE PROJECT includes a new 280,000-square-foot facility to provide state-of- the-art competition and training spaces for men’s and women’s lacrosse, in- door and outdoor track and field, cross country, soccer, and women’s rowing, as well as added training facilities for wrestling, tennis, and women’s gymnastics. The space is highlighted by an indoor track and field facil- ity with a hydraulic track (one of only a few in North America), a 2,000-seat la- crosse stadium, an outdoor track and field stadium, and the university’s first indoor rowing tank.
The transformational facilities will have a major impact on the future of
the Michigan Athletics and student-athletes. The collab- orative, open space allows individuals and teams to meet, train, and compete but, more importantly,
to develop as students, athletes, and community leaders.

JUDGES’ COMMENTS
I like the connections between spaces where you can see the activity and vitality of
the facility. The understated exterior is a good thing. It reflects today’s athletic ven- ues. Comprehensive planning. Technically proficient.
