Athletic Center Expansion Plans

Maybe they left this big blank area for an eagle head to go on the other end of the wing section.

Where would you place the scoreboard if you remove it from there?

Corners. The clarity has increased dramatically.

Why is there  a large gap underneath the expansion in the 2nd phase renderings? The expansion just hangs in the air over nothing. There is a lot of valuable space to the sides, underneath, and vertically that you could take advantage of.

 

The gap underneath the proposed endzone facility is a driveway for the service vehicles and 18-wheelers of both teams to load/unload equipment to both locker rooms, dorm cafeteria, etc.  You can see an 18-wheeler on the lower photo.

I have no problem leaving the driveway there and building over it, but the roof is useable space that they are ignoring in these renderings.   Make lodge seating be the slope of the roof.  It would be a great view from there and no sun to stare into!

What's with the two large grassy areas under the seating? Are they expecting to add seating there? Looks awkward...

They are just grass berms that are already there. 

It's where they fire the cannon from on gamedays...

Got it. Just looks like weird empty space in the rendering, especially since it appears to be walled off.

Thanks for the response, if they are bent on keeping that for ease of logistics I can see that. But even if you stayed within the driveway's footprint you can get a lot by just going vertical. I did a quick outline on google and this space is roughly 20k sqft. You go up 3 stories and that's 60k sqft to use.

I really DO NOT like the endzone rendering.   

It looks like a lot of wasted space (roof) that could be used for some great elevated seating. 

It also replaces a large central videoboard with a wimpy one in the corner?

Let's try another design!

Yeah…this looks bad. Wasted opportunity for some kind of branding.
