This image of the bubble diagram depict my basic idea of how the new facility should flow and what spaces should be included. I designed my athletic facility with the changing area as the main hub of the space. The choice I made, included only allowing access by the spectators to the main gym, which holds many sporting events and any other large functions and the swimming pool. These are the only spaces where spectators could view a athletic competition or event. All other spaces within the athletic department would be accessed by the athletes and those using the space to work out. That is why I designed the changing rooms as the center of space.

Very nice! I like the flow. Have you thought about putting the weight/wrestling/trainer rooms closer to the auxiliary gym and lobby?
I aimed to create my design centered around the changing rooms, yes unusual how ever this is ideal. Beyond the lobby space which has spectators going directly to view a basketball game or a swim meet, the changing rooms act as a center of all activity within a athletic pavilion. With athletics and the general student body going in and out to get to whichever space they are going to be using that day.
ok great there are lots of great gyms out there that center on locker rooms!
This is a nice exploration of the circulation throughout the spaces. You might want to think about the adjacency between the locker room and the trainer room. Think about how the students use that space and which students would need access to it. Many times injured students need the most access to that room so think about how far you really want them to travel to get there. Also, athletes from all disciplines will be utilizing this space. Common areas should be more centrally located like your locker rooms.
I would also label the "changing rooms" as "locker rooms" to keep in line with the competition vocabulary.
