Honorable Mention - Top 10 Finalist - Victoria Ereskina - Redesign Your School Athletic Pavilion | 2014 National High School Architecture Competition #5

Summary

The proposed design solved the issues underlined in the overview and collect info and included other enhancements, keeping in mind the ability to build it and its sustainability once it has been built.
There is now a very broad spectrum of physical activities one can do in the gym; there are weight training machines, batting cages, stationary bikes, a pull-up bar, a wider track, and a dance studio/yoga room.
These are placed out of each other’s way because the expansion accommodates for the much-needed space. Also, movable walls and collapsible bleachers are utilized for versatility.
The overall experience is made more convenient with the addition of bottle-filling stations, racks for the bottles, two locker rooms, mirrors, ballet bars, speaker system, full shielding of track from gym, secure storage for additional bleachers and basketball hoops, secure storage for miscellaneous equipment, and a teachers’ office. The environment is not only more lively with more activities and music, but also takes advantage of natural lighting when outdoor access is limited.
Mullions of glass and cast acrylic make the design more modern while maintaining the original stone tiles and parquet floor.
