The Tipton Associates/ABW Joint Venture team were retained to reinvent LA Tech’s campus recreation program into a destination for students as well as the community. Existing facility renovation and an extensive addition include a 25 meter indoor warming pool and NCAA competitive diving pool with platforms; a new health and wellness center with space for exam rooms, counseling and a classroom to ultimately create a one-stop location for health education and advisement; a 29-foot tall by 50-foot wide rock climbing wall; and a featured 50 meter student life recreation pool with cabana, sunbathing decks, and misting machines.
This design masterfully blended the existing facility, both physically and programmatically, to the new. We now have a venue for a wide array of activities that appeal to a diverse student body. The impact of this new campus icon was immediate and will be felt for many years to come.
