COLLEGIATE ATHLETICS COVER University of Maryland Baltimore County, Campus Event Center Athletic Programs Generate Remarkable Excitement and Drama COLLEGIATE ATHLETICS COVER University of Maryland Baltimore County, Campus Event Center Athletic programs generate remarkable excitement and drama. The most successful collegiate athletics facilities are hubs for this energy – empowering student athletes to perform at the highest level and connecting fans to the experience. CannonDesign is dedicated to collaborating with universities to create these memorable spaces – collegiate sports facilities that foster pride and strengthen campus environments. | 1 The design needs of athletic facilities are constantly changing to address the latest technologies and program demands, and to meet the growing expectations of student athletes. CannonDesign combines its strong record of creating facilities that work for student athletes, institutions and fans with a remarkable passion for sport. Equipped with a full suite of services from master planning to architecture, engineering and environmental graphics, our team works to TRAINING reflect the spirit and character of each institution with aesthetically pleasing, functionally sound, and cost-effective environments that enrich the campus experience. DESIGNING FOR RIGOROUS TRAINING DEMANDS 4 Developing Champions in Sports, Science and Life University of Maryland • Cole Fieldhouse 6 New Hub for Football Training Syracuse University • Football Practice Facility 8 Soaring to New Heights U.S. Air Force Academy • Holaday Athletic Center 10 Empowering Basketball Success Virginia Tech • Basketball Practice Facility 2 | CannonDesign COMPETITION BRANDING CREATING CAMPUS DESTINATIONS FOR CELEBRATING A RICH HERITAGE BIG RIVALRIES AND FAN EXPERIENCES AND SHOWCASING SUCCESS 12 All-in-One Campus Event Center 22 An Innovative Football Experience University of Maryland Baltimore County • Campus Event Center Virginia Tech • Football Jamerson Center and Locker Room 14 Enhancing the Game Day Experience 26 Celebrating Athletics for All Boston University • Agganis Arena and Competition Pool University of Victoria • Centre for Athletics, Recreation and Special Abilities 18 A Dual Purpose Stadium to Anchor Athletics 28 Chapman University • Erin J. Lastinger Athletics Complex Facility and Graphics Combine to Enhance Recruitment 20 A Home for Baseball Excitement George Washington University • Charles E. Smith Center Virginia Tech • English Field at Union Park Locker Rooms | 3 UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND COLE FIELDHOUSE Developing Champions in Sports, Science and Life Cole Fieldhouse, the new home to University of Maryland football, is an unrivaled multidisciplinary hub for sport, human performance, science, wellness and entrepreneurial education. The project converts the historic Cole Fieldhouse basketball arena in the heart of campus into an indoor football facility adjacent to the campus stadium. The facility offers a premier athletic training experience and unites athletes, nutritionists, researchers, doctors, entrepreneurs and students to forge a bold new future. 4 | CannonDesign | 5 SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY FOOTBALL PRACTICE FACILITY 6 | CannonDesign New Hub for Football Training Intended for year-round use by Syracuse University’s football, lacrosse, soccer and field hockey teams, the new football practice facility is a straightforward, low- tech center based on a pre-engineered metal building system. Optimized with active and passive sustainable strategies, the building harnesses daylight and operates efficiently in the Upstate New York climate. The practice facility is sited to align visually with Skytop Road, and its mass is broken down by a series of overlapping dormer windows. Three volumes, arranged south to north, compose the facility: an entry pavilion, a field house and a storage shed. Players emerging from locker rooms in the Manley Field House pass through Plaza 44, celebrating the great running backs Ernie Davis, Floyd Little and James Brown, en route to the new indoor practice facility. The entry pavilion, visually linked to the indoor playing field by a large glass wall, includes space for entertaining recruits, retail sales and team meetings. | 7 U.S. AIR FORCE ACADEMY HOLADAY ATHLETIC CENTER Soaring to New Heights The U.S. Air Force Academy’s 92,000 sf Holaday Athletic Center enables the academy’s Division One football program to conduct full-field drills (something the team was unable to do in its previous facility) and accommodates the soccer and lacrosse teams. The facility features a full-size artificial turf football field, a viewing mezzanine and strategic support spaces. The facility helps Air Force Academy compete with other Mountain West Conference teams already offering indoor training facilities. The facility does not have a mechanical heating or cooling system, relying instead on natural ventilation that capitalizes upon the region’s predictable prevailing winds and low humidity. In summer, the interior is flushed with cool outdoor air each night. In winter, warm air is retained. This strategy has proved extremely successful as the interior temperature remains between 50 and 75 degrees despite significant temperature changes outside. 8 | CannonDesign | 9 VIRGINIA TECH BASKETBALL PRACTICE FACILITY Empowering Basketball Success Virginia Tech’s NCAA Division One men’s and women’s basketball programs utilize a 55,000 sf facility including two regulation practice courts, a strength training gym, physical therapy facilities, locker and lounge facilities, memorabilia space and administration offices for the coaching staffs. The building design, approved by the Virginia Tech Board of Visitors and the Commonwealth of Virginia Art and Architecture Review Board, responds to the rich collegiate gothic context of the Blacksburg campus. The entry pavilion is positioned to address the adjacent Cassell Coliseum and aligns with the axis created by residential quads across Washington Street. An outdoor terrace framed by “Hokie Stone” faces Lane Field and the football complex. 10 | CannonDesign | 11 UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND BALTIMORE COUNTY CAMPUS EVENT CENTER All-in-One Campus Event Center The University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) Event Center is a comprehensive, all-in-one athletics venue designed as one of the premier mid-major NCAA Division 1 facilities in the country. Home to the UMBC M&W basketball programs and the women’s volleyball team, the center has seating capacity for 5,000 in its stadium bowl and an additional 1,000 on the floor. In addition to sporting events, the center will host commencement, concerts, public speakers and more. 12 | CannonDesign | 13 BOSTON UNIVERSITY AGGANIS ARENA AND COMPETITION POOL 14 | CannonDesign Enhancing the Game Day Experience Boston University’s Agganis Arena brings fans close to the action with 6,300 steeply-raked seats all within 60 feet of the playing surface. Capacity is expandable to over 7,200, enabling the arena to host concerts and family entertainment as well as hockey and basketball games. The facility also boasts a 10-lane-by-16-lane pool for training and competitive meets. Recruitment is supported by a full spectrum of amenities for players including a 6,500 sf weight room, a 27-seat theater-style video room with surround sounds, players’ lounge with comfortable seating and widescreen television and a hot-and-cold Jacuzzi. Even the width of the locker room is optimized to enable players to stretch out while chatting with teammates across the room. The arena is the linchpin of the university’s John Hancock Student Village, a 10-acre center of student life featuring elegant high-rise student residences and state-of-the-art fitness, athletic, recreational and entertainment facilities. | 15 16 | CannonDesign | 17 CHAPMAN UNIVERSITY ERIN J. LASTINGER ATHLETICS COMPLEX A Dual Purpose Stadium to Anchor Athletics The Chapman University, Erin J. Lastinger Athletics Complex is a dynamic, innovative hybrid structure providing a football stadium and aquatics center in one facility. This highly efficient, dual-purpose stadium maximizes available square footage on a limited site, achieves economic and programmatic savings, and powerfully anchors the university’s athletics programs. The aquatics center includes an Olympic-size pool with bulkhead, diving boards, spectator seating and full support facilities. Chapman Stadium offers 2,000 seats overlooking the synthetic-turf football and soccer field while a field house boasts a press box, reception room, team lockers, training rooms and space for coaches. The adjacent Lastinger Center contains classrooms and intercollegiate administration offices while a subterranean parking structure accommodates 900 cars. 18 | CannonDesign | 19 VIRGINIA TECH ENGLISH FIELD AT UNION PARK A Home for Baseball Excitement Virginia Tech has a storied past, rich with NCAA history, MLB-draft prospect and incredible moments on the diamond. English Field is a dynamic new stadium that celebrates Virginia Tech baseball and serves as a home for its future. Conceived as a stadium in the park, English Field creates remarkable experiences for athletes playing the sport they love. The 1,252-seat stadium also connects students, fans and community member in new ways to strengthen campus culture, the community and Virginia Tech’s legacy. 20 | CannonDesign | 21 VIRGINIA TECH FOOTBALL JAMERSON CENTER AND LOCKER ROOM 22 | CannonDesign An Innovative Football Experience The revitalized graphics and branding of Virginia Tech’s Football Jamerson Center create a campus destination to celebrate the program’s storied legacy and offer a foundation for the future.

    Media interest in Virginia Tech football and Coach Frank Beamer swelled during Tech’s 11-0 regular season in 1999 and the Hokies’ appearance in the Sugar Bowl national championship game. What Is a Hokie? That’s the most often-asked question in Virginia Tech athletics. The answer leads all the way back to 1896 when Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical College changed its name to Virginia Polytechnic Institute. With the change came the necessity for writing a new cheer and a contest for such a purpose was held by the student body. Senior O.M. Stull won first prize for his “Hokie” yell which still is used today. Later, when asked if “Hokie” had any special meaning, Stull explained the word was solely the product of his imagination and was used only as an attention-getter for his yell. It soon became a nickname for all Tech teams and for those people loyal to Tech athletics. The official school colors — Chicago maroon and burnt orange — also were introduced in 1896. They were chosen because they made a “unique combination” not worn elsewhere at the time. Spirit units at Virginia Tech include (clockwise, from top left) the HighTechs dance team; the Hokies’ lovable mascot, the HokieBird; the cheerleading squads; the Marching Virginians band, known as “the Spirit of Tech”; and the Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets regimental band, the Highty-Tighties. Tech and Texas A&M are the only two schools in the country with a full-time corps of cadets as part of a larger civilian student body. Media Information The Press Box receive first priority, as well as offerings of a single individual.
