state-of-the-art facilities
When planning an athletics and recreation center, Trinity Christian College wanted a place not just for competitive athletes, but also for students of all abilities and interests; a place that would make everyone feel welcome. This includes full-time, commuter, and prospective students. After in-depth conversations with students and stakeholders, the challenge for AMDG was clear: create a space that celebrates health and wellness on every possible level.
The Exercise Science Lab and connecting Human Performance classroom offer physical education students the latest experiential learning opportunities.
Knowing the impact of health and fitness, AMDG integrated design elements that promote spiritual, physical, and intellectual well-being.
Project success meant overcoming multiple challenges: how to best team with out-of-state and local consultants, how to steward building funds to stretch Trinity’s investment, and how to manage risk by working in close partnership with the constructor. With every challenge met, Trinity now has a venue that puts health and well-being front and center. A place for everyone.
game day spirit + visual continuity
The competition gym gives athletes a place to compete and fans a vibrant setting to cheer on their Trolls. Strong visual connections extend from the main level throughout the center.
a place to belong
To give commuter students a sense of home, open seating provides a convenient place to touch down, study, and hang out with other students.
