Redesign Your School Athletic Pavilion | 2014 National High School Architecture Competition #166

05/06/14
This site plan gained approval after several attempts to make everything fit perfectly within the site. It includes all the necessities that the staff wanted and also includes an amphitheater, which I thought might prove useful.

This seems to be a good layout;however, I would think about how you can combine some of the spaces. For example, although I like the concept of having an amphitheater, that assembly space can easily be combined with the gym to serve the same function. This way there is more space for the gym and athletic facilities. Also, how is the gym being accessed by the main building and how does it connect conceptually? I would evaluate the adjacencies of these buildings. Do you have plans to relocate the Veteran's space for disabled students? I would address those ideas here. I would also like to see your ideas on how the gym and its associated facilities (ie locker room, trophy case, restrooms, etc.) will be addressed since those were listed in your competition as something that needed to be included.
