Redesign Your School Athletic Pavilion | 2014 National High School Architecture Competition #286

Summary

In the process of brainstorming, I took pictures of the existing athletic facilities and talked to coaches and gym teachers regarding the positives and negatives of each facility from their point of view. This gave me some solid insight to start redesigning with. I also took into account the sports who were unable to practice on campus and tried to think up ways that i could incorporate a practice facility for them on the existing grounds. After this, I took a look at some of the state-of-the-art fields, gyms, and courts etc. in order to get a feel for the components of a quality facility. I also began a few "sketches" in order to organize my ideas and really try to create a structure that would not only be utilitarian and architectural appealing, but one that would also compliment the existing school.
